IDEAS FOR

Tall Screen, 
HEDGE aud ACCENT 
Individual plants in this group make splendid subjects for 
accenting architectural features. They are employed where 
time is a factor, and conifers would be too slow to create 
the effect desired, or they are substituted for accent conifers 
where the latter would be too heavy for the architectural 
setting. Used as screen or hedge plants, the members of 
this groun give satisfactory performance through quick growth 
and adaptability to a wide variety of conditions. We make 
these suggestions for tall hedge or screen planting: Obtain 
or 5-gallon containers sizes if possible. They are best for 




quick results. If economy is the first consideration, purchase 
plants in l-gallon containers. Remember that cultural atten- 
tion is necessary for rapid growth. Apply fertilizer gener- 
ously beginning a month after planting. Water frequently 
in large basins through the growing season.
