work above six feet in height
requires the use of ladders.
Only a few evergreens, such as
the columnar arborvitae can be
grown to mature height and still
not be more than 2 feet in thick
ness.
This same holds true for many
Of the lower-growing hedges and
is, Of course, a factor that should
be considered by the gardener in
making his choice. The smaller
lot scannot very well give up

Rose as Hedge Plant
One Of the more attractive
hedge plants is the floribunda
rose. Many of the older varie-
ties. such as Mrs. Finch, Cha
tillon, Betty Prior, Pink Bounti-
full, ETC.. with their all-season
floral display and low to mod
crate height of growth. make
most attractive hedges for Dor
dering driveways and boundary
lines.

how much pruning is necessary
to keep the hedge attractive.
Some. such as the California
Iprivet, require five or six clip
pings year, while the hemlock
and a few others need only one.
The taller hedges, which are
usually the stronger-growing
plants, need more trimming than
do those that are slower-growing.
AS inferred. there are a great
many kinds of woody shrubs that
can be trained into hedge form.
Some, such as the pines. take
more work than the arborvitae
and yews whose habit of growth
makes them easier to handle. In
general. a good hedge plant is
one that can be cut fairly close
to the ground at planting to
stimulate branching. The new
shoots, when they are six inches
or so in length, should be cut
in half to further force twiggy
growth close to the ground.
Inverted "V" Form
The second point in having a
good hedge is to trim it always
in an inverted w" form. This
is to insure that none of the top
branches overhang those below.

Roses for Londscoping?
Here Are Some Varieties

The pleasure and beauty Of
growing roses belongs to the
small lot gardeners as well as to
those who cast their owners eyes
over vast estates. In fact, there
is a trend toward landscaping
smaller plots with roses for their
color and growing characters
tics.
A reason for this trend is the
ever increasing popularity of the
f1oribunda, a class that easily
solves multitude of landscaping
problems. Bearing their clusters
Of blossoms on many-branched
stems, the floribundas create
masses of color interest for any
garden. Because they grow in a
low bushy form, they are excel
lent for creating magnificent
hedges along driveways, in front
Of evergreen paintings, cover
ing ugly foundations, or merely
planted here and there to provide
a colorful accent to an otherwise
drab garden spot. There are
many wonderful roses in this
class. and some real champions
of international note.
These are the All-America
Award winners which have
shown their superiority in the
two-year trials operated by ALL
America Rose Selections.
White Bouquet. a sparkling
white f1oribunda, won the AARS

variety of height, color, foliage,
flowers. and fruits.
If winter protection from chill
ing winds is needed. it would be
wise to select one of the ever
greens; if protection from tres
passers is desired, then one of
the several thorny hedge plants
would be more suitable.
It is wise to look over the
space to be planted and decide
which of the several kinds of
plants might do the job.
If a low hedge is all that is
needed there are a number of
plants suitable.
If the hedge is to be in both
sun and shade with a relatively
uniform growth the entire
length. it will be necessary to
choose one that will thrive
equally well in sun and shade.
The hemlock is often used for
this purpose but it is difficult to
keep under S or 6 feet in height.
The yews (Taxus). are also toler-
ant OF sun and shade and are
lower growing than the hemlock.
The shiny-leaved privet Oigus-
trum lucidumD is almost as we'll
adapted and may be pruned to
any height desired from 3 to 6
feet. AZaleas and hollies will
tolerate some shade as well as
sun.
Turn Animals, Children
Hedges that will turn animals
as well as youngsters include the
barberrieS, firethorn, roses and
buckthorn (sweet soils). The
common barberry is most COM
monty used for this purpose, al
though the evergreen barberry
is much more attractive: there
is an upright form of the latter
that Is easily kept to a narrow
width.
OF the Towering plants for
hedges, the Abelia is the only
one that seems adapted for
S airing. Forsythia. spirea,
azaleas and a number Of others
are seldom trimmed to either
height or width. The azaleaS,
of course. should not be used
where they will be trampled
upon. The f1rethorn is one of the
most attractive Of the berried
hedge plants.

it is also desirable to consider
