Hedges 
For PRIVACY and BEAUTY 
A well chosen hedge adds to 
the attractiveness and privacy 
of your home. Among the fol- 
lowing hedge plants are low, 
medium and tall growing 
varieties, all of which are 
hardy and suitable to the cli- 
mate of the Upper Midwest. 
These plants are grown in 
open nursery rows where they 
have been given ample room 
for root and top development. 
Please note: 25 plants or 
more are sold at the 100 rate.

PLANTING THE HEDGE 
We recommend planting Buckthorn and Cotoneaster 8 
inches apart in a single row. If a very wide hedge is de- 
sired 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 planting, 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 trimming 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.
