HEDGES Pretect and Beautify 
For boundary, screen, or barrier, there is nothing more pleasing than a hedge. With their bright green leaves 
they bring a feeling inspired by the fresh foliage of spring. Whether when formally trained or left to develop 
naturally, their arched branches, colored foliage, and bright berries are more pleasing than the mechanical effect 
obtained by the use of a wooden or metal fence. Most hedges are permanent and with the exception of occa- 
sional shearing, they need little attention after being established. 
PLANTING 
Spacing varies with the variety used, but, for most of 
them 10 to 12 inches is the recommended distance. 
Honeysuckle and Bridal Wreath should be about 2 feet 
apart. Most hedges should be severely pruned at the 
time of planting and after that, an occasional shearing 
to keep it in shape is all that is necessary. 
BARBERRY, THUNBERG (Berberis thun- 
bergi). Low growing plant, best adapted for a hedge, 
used as a border where view of objects is not to be 
obscured. Plant is spreading, turning scarlet at end of 
season. May be trimmed or left informal. 
BUCKTHORN, COMMON (Rhamnus cathar- 
tica). Probably the best hedge plant where a me- 
dium to high hedge or screen from 3 to 6 feet tall is 
wanted. This plant is very hardy, a vigorous grower, 
standing pruning exceptionally well. (We do not 
recommend planting Common Buckthorn in rural areas 
because it is a host to the Oat Rust). 
CARAGANA, SIBERIAN PEA-TREE (Cara- 
gana arborescens). Extremely hardy and also 
stands dry exposed positions. Trims to a nice hedge 
from 3 to 8 feet high. 
COTONEASTER, PEKING (Cotoneaster acut- 
ifolia). The thick glossy leaves of this beautiful shrub 
turn to an attractive red in the fall. Stands trimming 
well. A medium height hedge. 

CURRANT, ALPINE (Ribes alpinum). An ex- 
ceptionally desirable hedge plant. It retains its dark 
green foliage late in the fall. Stands trimming well and 
produces a very good hedge from 1 to 3 feet high. 
PRIVET, LODENSE. A very compact growing 
dwarf hedge. Ideal in partial shade. 
SPIREA, VANHOUTTE (Bridal Wreath) (Sp. 
vanhouttei). A very beautiful hedge requiring no 
trimming.
