PLANTING HEDGES 
Dig one side of the trench straight and plant 
against it to get a straight hedge. 0s 
Dig trench twelve inches deep or more, to 
receive the roots without crowding, and set the 
plants deep enough so that the lower branches 
will be slightly covered with the earth when 
filled in. Pack good garden soil firmly around 

severely to insure compact and even growth.
