Planting and Care of Hedges 
Simplest Method of planting is in a trench 
10 to 12 inches deep, and the width of a 
garden-spade is usually just right. Set the plants in about l-inch deeper than grown before in 
the nursery, and before completely filling the trench with soil, apply plenty of water. Finish filling 
when the water is soaked away. which still makes it possible to put all plants in line. Shear the 
tops down to aboyt 4 inches from the ground, right after planting: This produces a low, dense 
growth. Shear the new growth in midsummer to any height. 
hear again early the following spring 
to 8 or 10 inches from the ground. Summer shearing is to shape up the new growth to even 
height and sides. Spring shearing builds the hedge up gradually, and produces the dense growth 
needed for good appearance. Flowering hedges need not be sheared.
