(E) For EVERGREEN HepceE. All of the Shrubs listed on these two pages are 
Deciduous (foliage drops off branches in the fall). If you prefer an Ever- 
green Hedge, with thick, all-year foliage that retains its deep color through 
the seasons, refer to our wide selection of Windbreak and Low-Growing Ever- 
greens on Pages 18 through 21. These plantings need little care, grow slowly 
enough to make frequent trimming unnecessary. 
HOW TO PLAN A SINGLE RUN OR BROAD DENSE HEDGE

Be sure your hedge has a weli drained location. The type of hedge you 
choose should be determined by its purpose. For a more formal appearance 
in your garden, choose a trim clipped hedge such as one of the Privets. Rose 
or Barberry may be kept to a low compact hedge as an effective edging for 
walks. If you plan a broad hedge, the plants should be staggered as shown 
in the diagram above and spaced as shown in table opposite.

Tall growing hedges may be used to enclose your garden completely. Tall 
flowering shrubs may effectively serve as backgrounds for perennial bor- 
ders, where informal hedges are appropriate. A tall dense hedge prop- 
erly located will protect your perennial border or rose garden from winds. 
Single row plantings should! be spaced as indicated in table opposite and 
planted in a straight line as in the diagram above.
