Hedges . - - for Beauty and Privacy 
A well chosen hedge adds to the attractiveness and privacy of your home. Among the following hedge 
plants are low, medium and tall growing varieties, all of which are hardy and suitable to the climate 
of the Upper Midwest. These plants are grown in open nursery rows where they have been given 
ample room for root and top development. 
BARBERRY, Japanese. (Berberis Thunbergi.) Makes a 
low, dense hedge between two and three feet high. The 
branches have small sharp thorns and bright green 
foliage which colors to brilliant red in autumn. After 
the leaves fall, red berries remain on the plant well into 
the winter. Fine either trimmed or untrimmed in a nat- 
uralistic effect.

Lime Sulphur and one gallon of water to prevent possi- 
ble infection by scale. See illustration.

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 Barberry and Dwarf Ninebark one foot apart in a single row. 
Plant Honeysuckle, Lilac and Spirea Bridalwreath 18 to 24 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.
