ECOLOGY CORNER 





Much has been said about pollution and the sad condition of our environment. Words cannot 

 correct these conditions. You can! A planting of trees or shrubs not only beautifies the area but cleans 

 the air, prevents erosion into our streams and provides food and shelter for wildlife. For just a few 

 pennies you can do your part. Select and plant trees and shrubs from these two pages nov/. You can 

 help our "Green Survival." 



Multiflora Rose 



The primary use for Multiflora rose is to pro- 

 vide a protective barrier around fields and prop- 

 erty lines of farms, estates, and other rural areas. 

 After a few years this \'igorous, thorny rose will 

 make an almost impenetrable barrier that is a 

 true living fence. It lasts a lifetime and needs 

 no repairs. It will fence in farm animals and 

 keep out trespassers. Very popular for conserva- 

 tion use to prevent land erosion. Multiflora rose 

 grows well in nearly any soil type and is suitable 

 for all but the most northern areas. Produces small 

 white blossoms followed by clusters of red berries.
