Ml: cee. Sele for Hedges 
The adaptability of Chinese Elms for clipped hedges, wind- 
breaks, screens, etc., is unquestioned. For clipped hedges 3 feet 
or under, plant seedlings 6 inches apart. For taller hedges plant 
9 to 12 inches apart. For tall windbreaks plant from 3 to 6 feet 
apart, depending on the height and density desired. When order- 
ing for hedges or windbreaks, specify HEDGE GRADE. We 
grade our seedlings, putting those more branched and_ best 
adapted for this purpose in the “hedge grade.’’ FOR PRICES 
SEE CHINESE ELM SEEDLINGS on Page 27 and be sure to 
specify HEDGE GRADE.

compact, low clipped hedge or border to edge flow- 
er or rose beds. The fine-textured foliage is silvery- 
green in color. If allowed to grow naturally or un- 
clipped it forms a low, spreading, cushion-like plant 
that bears small yellow button-like flowers in early 
summer: as such it is an excellent item for the 
rock garden. For low clipped borders plant 4 inches
