HEDGE IS SHEARED 



Drawing reprinted courtesy THE GREEN THUMB 
Hedges are often thought of as living fences and are pre- 
ferable in many places to wooden or iron fences because they 
have the beauty and interest of living things and because a 
well-kept hedge is constantly increasing in beauty and value 
while ordinary fences are a continual source of annoyance 
and expense. 
No one species will fill every requirement. Nearly every 
shrub and some trees have been tried in hedging and we have 
pointed out the more successful varieties in the descriptive 
lists under those headings. Species listed here are particularly 
adapted to hedge work. 
Hedge plants of every kind are in particularly short supply 
this year. We urge you to order early. 
J. SCOPULORUM HEDGE ... Photo from Green Thumb, Bulletin of Colo. Forestry and Horticulture Ass’n 
BERBERIS THUNBERGI—Japanese Barberry 
Good low to medium informal barrier maturing at 4 to 6 feet. 
As a formal clipped hedge it best fills the 2% to 4-foot range. 
Plant in a single row 1 to 1% feet apart. 
12 to 18 ins. $5.50 per 25; $20.00 per 100. 
ROSES, POLYANTHA 
Where something in the way of a permanent, colorful border | 
from 12 to 30 inches high is wanted Polyantha roses are 
ideal. List on page 15. 
LIGUSTRUM AMURENSE—Amur Privet 
Especially valuable for formal hedges from 4 to 6 feet tall. 
Its excellent foliage sometimes persists into December. Amur 
Privet is hardiest of all the Privets but sometimes even this 
winterkills. Plant in a single row 1 foot apart. 
12 to 18 ins., $5.00 per 25; $17.50 per 100. 
CARAGANA ARBORESCENS—Siberian Peashrub 
Kew shrubs cumbine so many good qualities of foliag , flower, 
insect and disease resistance and extreme hardiness as does 
this caragana, one of the earliest shrubs to leaf out in the 
Spring, with a fine display of bright yellow pea-shaped blooms 
in early May. Its lively green winter color of bark and twig 
lends a cheerful note to the landscape throughout the cold 
months. Its narrow, upright habit of growth make it most 
useful for a tall hedge; under informal, naturalistic culture 
it will make a beautiful wall of soft green up to 15 feet tall 
but only 6 to 8 feet wide. For a formal, clipped hedge from 
5 to 8 feet tall caragana is unexcelled, requiring only one or 
two shearings a year to keep in top form. Plant in a single 
row 1 foot apart or for quicker “filling-in’” in 2 rows 8 in- 
ches apart, the plants “staggered” 18 inches apart in the rows. 
Caragana, 2-yr-old per 25 per 100 
12-18 inches tall $3.00 $11.00 
18-24 inches tall 4.00 15.00 
2-3 feet (heavy) 5.50 21.00 
ULMUS PUMILA—Chinese Elm 
In spite of its many faults small seedlings of this tree are 
much in demand for hedge work. It is a marvelously quick 
grower of densely branching habit; often makes ‘a good show- 
ing” by the end of the first season. Plant in a single row, 1 
to 2 ft. apart. We definitely do not recommend it but if you 
insist, we have 1% to 2 ft. 2-yr.-olds, $2 per 25; $6.75 per 100. 
JUNIPERUS SCOPULORUM—Rocky Mountain Juniper 
The year-’round beauty and dependability that makes J. sco- 
pulorum first choice for specimen and foundation plantings 
also makes it the finest of all living fences; extra protection 
for rose beds and fiower borders or for the entire outdoor 
living room, and a matchless background for your choicest 
flowers. At maturity you may have it from 5 to 12 feet tall 
and 3 to 8 feet wide, depending on the way it’s sheared. Ideal 
planting sizes are 1-1% ft. and 1%4-2 ft. Space them 3 to 4 
feet apart in a single row—it will take only 4 or 5 years to 
“fill in’ and in that time will grow 4 to 5 feet tall. 
We have an especially fine block of beautifully colored 4- 
yr-old transplanted scops, twice-sheared, compact and bushy 
trees which will be delivered B.R. with roots well mudded 
and carefully packed in moist sphagnum. 
12-18 inches $15.00 per 10, $36.00 per 25, $120.00 per 100 
18-24 inches 20.00 per10, 48.50-per 25, 150.00 per 100 
2-year sdigs., 4-6 inches tall -......... 5.00 per 25, 16.00 per 100
