soms. Has long, sharp thorns. Set plants 

 24 to 30 inches apart and prune not later 

 than August first. 



Variety of Rose of Sharon. Grows 

 twelve feet high in any soil. The bush is 

 covered with single pink flowers in August 

 and September. Set plants 18 to 24 

 inches apart and prune after flowering. 



Osage Orange. This is really a tree 

 but adapts itself wonderfully to a hedge. 

 Is spreading and picturesque with hand- 

 some orange-like foliage. Will not stand 

 the climate of our extreme northern states. 



Honey Locust. Small globe-headed tree 

 with elegant foliage. With proper shear- 

 ing makes an excellent hedge. 



European Hawthorn. Not recommend- 

 ed for United States as it has many fungus 

 enemies here. The varieties are arbutus- 

 leaved, apple-leaved, pear-leaved, glossy- 

 leaved, parsley-leaved and many others. 

 They are of compact growth and will 

 stand any soil and situation. The flowers 

 are abundant and plentiful. 



Buckthorn has small dark leaves and in- 

 conspicuous greenish white flowers. Makes 

 a good hedge.
