Many of our customers look- 
ing ahead a few years, are 
planting these fine evergreen 
hedges rather than cheaper 
barberry and privet. 
In hedges, you can have the 
BEST for little expense. They 
appreciate in value each year. 
The Story of Upright Yew Hedges 
The photos tell it: The 12-18 inch plants at 
the left were set 1!/2 feet apart in rich drained 
soil. The first three years the faces of the 
hedge only were clipped, so that the fourth 
year the tops were 4 feet high. It was then 
cut down to three feet. 
One year later the hedge was solid every- 
where, a handsome part of the garden. Each 
June thereafter the top and sides, were 
pruned, letting an inch or two of new growth 
stay on. (You have to let a hedge keep 
growing a little every year.) The large photo 
was taken in its eighth year, a perfect hedge 
4 feet high. 
Hedges Must Grow. An inch a year 
is enough—more if desired. When 
a hedge is too large, prune severely 
and then let soft new growth come 
back. Fertilize: You have to prune 
all the more, but you have a nice 
hedge! 
Experts agree that perfect hedges 
should be started from one to two 
feet high.
