USEFUL ORNAMENTAL HEDGES 



Beautiful hedges add much to the appearance of a property, and are everywhere coming into more general use. They look 

 better than fences, last longer and cost less; when once established, they require only a little cultivation and pruning each year to 

 keep them the desired shape and size. A fence is more trouble; a hedge grows better-looking ever>- year. These plants arc also used 

 for indiviiiual lawn specimens. See between the trees in the illustration.

ROSE HEDGES 



are certainly coming to be more and more popular as people 

 learn about the splendid qualities of the Rugosa Roses for this 

 purpose. They make neat, compact, uniform growth, and the 

 thick, bushy mass of glossy, crinkled foliage gives a particularly 

 fine appearance. Plant 18 inches apart. 



Rosa rugosa. Red or White. 2-yr. size, S20 per 100, by express. 



An excellent Rose hedge is made by training Climbing Roses 

 on a wire fence. Plant them about 4 or 5 feet apart, and for this 

 purpose we know of none better than Excelsa, the splendid Red 

 Dorothy Perkins Rose, voted by the American Rose Society the 

 finest Rose introduced in the last five years. It will pay to make 

 the fence substantial to start with, and remember to cut out the 

 old wood each year as soon as the Rose has finished blooming. 

 (See further description on page 28.)
