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. 
Plant Honeysuckle, Lilac and Spirea 
Bridalwreath 18 inches apart in a single 
row. 
IMPORTANT: Immediately after plant- 
ing, 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 trim- 
ming 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.
