Barberry Makes a Beautiful Hedge—Effectively Wards Off Trespassers, Too 
HOW TO PLANT AND GROW GOOD HEDGES : 
Beautiful hedges are easily grown if a few simple instructions 
are observed. Dig a trench 10 to 12 inches deep and the width 
of a spade. Set the plants a couple of inches deeper than they 
stood in the nursery. This insures a dense hedge at the base. 
Privet should be set 10 inches apart, Barberry about 18 inches. 
Shrubs such as Spirea 18 inches, Chinese Elm 2 feet, and Ever- 
greens 2 to 3 feet. Spacing may be varied depending upon the 
density desired. After spacing plants, fill in about one-half of the 
depth of the trench, then flood with water. After settling fill in 
balance of the trench and tramp firmly. Leave a slight depression 
along each side of the hedge to retain water. Keep thoroughly 
soaked until well started. Privet should be cut back to about 8 to 
10 inches after planting to promote vigorous growth. Hedges 
planted in this manner rarely fail to grow.
