HEDGES — BEAUTIFUL BORDERS OF LIVING GREEN 
Cotoneaster Hedge 
The clean appearing, glossy leaves and 
robust growth make this hedge a favorite. 
'^'P'HE cheapest wall or fence and the best is 
A the living hedge. It does not need to be 
painted as it gives itself a new coat every 
year. A hedge will effectively screen out un¬ 
desirable views or shut out trespassers. Plant 
a hedge where you need a fence. Listed be¬ 
low you will find hedge plants suited for all 
purposes and locations. Our plants are grown 
in the open nursery rows where they have 
been given ample room for both root and top 
development. 
PLANTING THE HEDGE 
When Buckthorn, Cotoneaster and Cara- 
gana are used, plant 8 to 10 inches apart in 
single row, or if a very heavy hedge is want¬ 
ed plant 12 inches apart in a double row, 
planting rows 6 to 8 inches apart, plants 
staggered. 
The remainder of the plants listed on this page 
should be planted one foot apart in a single row. 
Do not fail to trim every plant immediately after 
planting to at least one-half its original size. Leaving 
only the lower one-fourth would be still better. The 
secret of securing a dense hedge is to cause the 
plants to branch out near the ground by trimming 
as advised above. 
BARBERRY, JAPANESE or THUNBERG’S. (Berberis 
Thunbergi). Of low spreading- growth, forming a 
dense hedge. The twiggy branches are set with 
small, sharp thorns and bright, clean foliage which 
in the fall turns to gold and scarlet. The brilliant, 
red berries are attractive in the fall and winter. 
A fine plant for a low hedge whether trimmed or 
allowed to grow naturally.

BUCKTHORN. (Rhaniniis Catliar(icus). A very sat¬ 
isfactory plant to use when a medium high to tall 
hedge is wanted. It stands trimming so well that it 
can be kept for a long period at practically any 
height desired. The foliage is of a rich, healthy 
green and remains clean looking throughout the 
summer. It is hardy and one of our most satis¬ 
factory hedge plants.

COTONEASTER or Q.UINCEBERRY. (Cotoneaster 
Acutifolln). The fresh looking, glossy green foliage 
of this plant and its thrifty, dense growth, combined 
with its hardiness, makes it ideal as a hedge plant 
for use in Minnesota. Even during periods of ex¬ 
tremely dry hot weather the foliage retains its 
healthy glossy green color, having the appearance 
of being varnished. It stands trimming well. The 
foliage turns to lovely shades of yellow and red 
in the fall. We especially recommend this hedge.

wanted. See cut.

DOGW OOD, SIBERIAN. (Cornus Siberica). There is 
some demand for this plant for hedge use on ac¬ 
count of its attractive red bark. As the plant grows 
older, however, it becomes thin at the bottom and 
is not perfectly satisfactory.

LILAC, Common Purple. ( S yringa Vulgaris). Though 
this plant yields readily to trimming, it is best suit¬ 
ed for use as a hedge where it may be left untrim¬ 
med. The lovely flowers, one of its chief attractions, 
would not be produced if trimming was done. Should 
be planted only where the plants will have room to 
grow quite large.
