For PRIVACY and BEAUTY 
A well chosen hedge adds to 
the attractiveness and privacy 
of your home. Among the fol- 
lowing hedge plants are low, 
medium and tall growing varic- 
ties, all of which are hardy and 
suitable to the climate of the 
Upper Midwest. These plants 
are grown in open nursery rows 
where they have been given 
ample room for root and top 
development.

gins) with a solution of 10 tablespoons of Dry Lime Sul-

PLANTING THE HEDGE 
We recommend planting Buckthorn and Cotoneaster 8 inches apart in 
a single row. If a very-wide hedge is desired, plant in two rows with 
the rows 8 inches apart and the plants staggered one foot apart in 
each row. 
Plant Alpine Currant and Barberry one foot apart in a single row. 
Piant Honeysuckle, Lilac and Spirea Bridalwreath 18 inches apart in 
a single row. 
IMPORTANT: Immediately after planting, trim every hedge plant to 
at least one-half its original size. This is a minimum requirement. 
Leaving only the lower one-fourth would be better. By severe trimming 
you will cause the plants to branch out near the ground and form a 
dense hedge. Subsequent hedge trimming and shaping may be done at 
any time during the year.
