If the new hedge is left un- pruned, it will have a loose, uneven texture with scanty leaves at the bottom, warns Ortho's book "All About Pruning." To start a beautiful new hedge, buy plants which are bare root or in gallon size cans. Space plants 24 to 30 inches apart and, when they are safely rooted, start your pruning.

McncmDY.numCHS JhuzVoMA HARDWARE STORES */* t>* n First step in creating luxurious hedges is to buy plants which are bare root or in containers of at least one gallon size. Your nurseryman will help you select the best plants for your area. First thing you do is shear off about one-third at the top and on all sides of each plant. Trim the young plants so they are narrower at the top than at the sides--this technique will force thicker growth right down to the ground and allow the sun to reach the bottom foliage. But one good trimming is not enough for the young, hedge. THrn it back every two months during the growing season. Always prune one- half of the new growth each time you trim. Follow these pruning niles for the first two years. For the first year, don't worry about achieving the hedge height you want but prone properly to get a hedge which is thick with no gaps before you let it grow to the desired height. Don't be timid with prun­ ing--plants used as hedges ' flourish with heavy pruning. If you want advice on which plant to buy or how to care for them, your local nursery can give you sound advice.
