R ose Hedges 
| /"VINE of the most pleasing effects iu Roses is a division hedge between 
II II * 10me8, This w ’^ do awa y with the unsightly division fence, which is too 
1 | often seen between two pretty homes. The expense is so trifling that 
it seems as if a more general use of Roses for this purpose should be 
seen. Some very pleasing hedges are to be seen in this city, and they are the 
pride of every owner. The prettiest Roses to use for this purpose are Hermosa 
or Clothilde Soupert. These can be used separately or alternately, or a general 
assortment can be used. The objection to an assorted hedge is that the differ- 
ent sorts do not all grow alike, and it requires more or less trimming, whereas 
if one kind or kinds that grow alike are planted you have a more even hedge. 
Bride, Bridesmaid, Catherine Mermet and Kaiserin may be planted together. 
If you will try a hedge of this kind once you will never regret it. Two 
neighbors can club together, and the expense will be so small that you will 
never miss it. The plants should be planted about two to two and one-half 
feet apart. One hundred Roses would make a hedge two hundred feet and over; 
this would cost you tour dollars if you buy by the hundred. Can you put up a 
front division fence for that money by any other method? Another thing: you 
don’t have to paint a rose fence; it won’t blow down; it won’t rot out; and 
there is no danger of the little ones climbing up on it and falling off and bump- 
ing their precious heads. We would advise you to try this method of planting 
Roses. Write and let us know the distance you have to plant, and we will tell 
you how and when to plant, and will give you advice in regard to sorts to plant, 
and will furnish you fine stock at wholesale prices if taken in hundred lots. Be 
the first in your town to have a nice rose fence, and see how soon some of your 
neighbors will follow your example.
