USEFUL ORNAMENTAL HEDGES 
Rcautiful Hedges add much to the appearance of a property, and are, everywhere, coming into more general use. They look 
luMtrr than fences, last longer and cost less; when once established, they require only a little cultivation and pruning each year to 
fci-ei) them the desired shape and size. A fence is more trouble, a hedge grows better looking every year. These plants are also used 
(lit individual lawn specimens. See between the trees in the illustration.

(lowering shrubs we have. Plant about 12 inches apart. Prices,

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. See page 35 - Plant 18 inches apart. 
An excellent Rose Hedge is made by training Climbing Roses 
on a wire fence. The Roses offered on pages 28 to 34 are suit¬ 
able for this purpose, and offer a large variety to select from. 
Plant them about 4 or 5 feet apart.
