ROSE HILL NURSERY 
Beautiful Borders of Living Green 
PLEASE NOTE—25 or MORE plants are sold at the 100 rate. 
THE cheapest wall or fence and the best is 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 undesirable 
views or shut out trespassers. Plant a hedge where you need 
a fence. Listed below 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 
We recommend planting Cotoneaster, Buckthorn and Cara- 
gana 8 inches apart in a single row. If a very wide hedge 
is desired, plant in two rows, each row 8 inches apart and 
the plants one foot apart in each row, 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.

Cotoneaster Hedge—The clean-appearing, glossy leaves 
and robust growth make this hedge a favorite 
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 bril- 
fiant, red berries are attractive in the fall and winter. A fine 
plant for a low hedge whether trimmed or allowed to grow 
naturally.

BUCKTHORN. (Rhamnus Catharticus.) A very satisfactory 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 Buckthorn we offer have 
been transplanted and twice cut back, making the plants 
well branched right from the bottom. Many nurseries offer 
plants which are seedlings and do not have the root system 
or the low, well branched tops.

CARAGANA or SIBERIAN PEA TREE. (Caragana Arborescens.) 
Thrives in any well-drained soil and is hardy in the most 
exposed locations. Is suitable for use where a medium or tall- 
growing hedge is desired. Sometimes the foliage does not re- 
main in good condition during the latter part of the summer.

COTONEASTER or QUINCEBERRY. (Cotoneaster Acutifolia.) 
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 and surrounding 
states. Even during periods of extremely dry hot weather the 
foliage retains its healthy, glossy green color, having the 
appeararice of being varnished. It stands trimming well. The 
foliage turns to lovely shades of yellow and red in the fall. 
The beauty of this hedge far surpasses any other hedge 
grown in the Northwest. We especially recommend Coton- 
easter to our customers.

LILAC, Common Purple or White. (Syringa Vulgaris.) Though 
this plant yields readily to trimming, it is best suited for use 
as a hedge where it may be left untrimmed. The lovely flow- 
ers, one of its chief attractions, would not be produced if 
trimming were done. Should be planted only where the plants 
will have room to grow quite large. Please specify color 
wanted.

HANSA ROSE. (Hybrid Rugosa.) This plant makes a fine un- 
trimmed hedge. The healthy, attractive, heavy, crinkled 
foliage withstands drought and extremely hot weather without 
injury. The large double red flowers are fragrant, very orna- 
mental and are produced in great abundance during June 
and early July. Scattered flowers are also produced during 
the balance of the summer and fall. Plants should be cut 
back to within a foot of the ground early each spring to 
produce strong flowering shoots.
