HEDGES Protect and eaulify 
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 SPIREA, VANHOUTTE (Bridal Wreath) (Sp. 
vanhouttei). A very beautiful hedge requiring no 
Spacing varies with the variety used, but, for most of them 10 to trimming. 
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). 
BUCKTHORN, GLOSSY LEAF (Rhamnus 
frangula). Similar to common Buckthorn and rec- 
ommended for rural areas as it does not harbor the 
Oat Rust. 
CARAGANA, SIBERIAN PEA-TREE (Cara- 
gana arborescens). Extremely hardy and also 
stands dry exposed positions. Trims to a nice hedge
