THE WILD ROSE LIVING FENCE 



(ROSA MULTIFLORA JAPONICA) 

 Needs Little Pruning — Disease Free — A Living Fence For Years To Come. 



Multiflora Roses are being used effectively to decrease 

 soil erosion, dividing line fences, wind breaks, screens for 

 unsightly objects, to confine farm animals and as snow 

 fences in winter. 



The plants grow rapidly in most all types of soil and 

 produce a fence up to eight feet in height in three to 

 four years, then it stops, getting no taller. The fence 

 needs no pruning or care after the initial setting. 



Where a close hedge or screen is desired, we suggest 

 planting one foot apart. For more open hedge they may 

 be planted two or three feet apart in a single row. 



The fence is a beautiful sight in bloom putting on a 

 gorgeous display for about two weeks. Thereafter seed 

 pods are formed to furnish food for the birds.

^ Japanese Fan Tail Willow 



(Salix sachalinense Sekka) 



This is a strange, Japanese-y plant that's straight from the Orient 

 and as crooked as can be . . . the willow that doesn't know which 

 way it ought to grow. It will be the most talked about plant in your 

 garden. A medium spreading shrub that's fluffy with soft, silvery cat- 

 kins in the spring, and attractive all summer dressed in long, narrow, 

 shiny, green leaves, this mad willow in the fall becomes a home dec- 

 orator's delight. It is then, when the branches are fully ripened, that 

 their odd (wistings and turnings provide for even the inexperienced 

 arranger the most arty of Japanese-style decorations. Sometimes the 

 branches are flat and an inch or so wide, sometimes they're round — 

 always they grow in the most unexpected direction; and they grow 

 that way naturally — without the aid of human hands. Spring, summer 

 and fall in the garden — and all winter in the house — you'll appreci- 

 ate the unusual beauty of this mysterious, odd-ball plant . . . Salix 

 sachalinense Sekka. 



Heavy 2-yr. field grown plants, 15 to 18 inches: $3.50.
