the perennial garden they provide a 
living wall or background for the 
flowers and bring out the color con- 
trast more vividly. Evergreen hedges 
should be trimmed every year dur- 
ing early June. Hedges make a yard 
more livable. They let you live as 
you please right out to the street.

TSUGA 
Canadensis Canadian Hemlock 
Possesses a refined, lacy 
dark green foliage that un- 
doubtedly produces our most 
dense and graceful evergreen 
hedge. A tall, bushy type 
that requires plenty of room 
and a location protected 
from the wind. May be 
sheared to any desired shape 
and grows well in semi- 
shade. 
EUVONYMUS 
Alatus compacta 
Dwarf Winged Euonymus 
Originated in France and 
introduced in the U. S. by 
the Adams Nursery. Indif- 
ferent to soil, shade and 
city conditions. Makes a 
most unusual and attractive 
hedge. No doubt one of the 
most conspicuous varieties 
in the autumn with its bril- 
liant scarlet foliage. Slow 
erowing and seldom _ re- 
quires trimming. 
TAXUS 
Cuspidata capitata 
Upright Yew 
Many pleasing characteris- 
tics make this evergreen 
ideal for hedge purposes. Its 
natural upright growth and 
rich dark green foliage the 
year round, its ability to 
adapt itself to many differ- 
ent soil, sun and shade con- 
ditions, and the ease with 
which it conforms to any 
type of shearing makes it 
one of the most popular and 
satisfactory hardy evergreen 
hedges.
