THE most attractive 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. 
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- 
iiant, 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 
eomnming 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.)

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, make 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 ap- 
pearance 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. Cotoneaster is unusually free from 
pests of all kinds but is occasionally infected with scale, 
which causes the branches to become roughened and of a 
grayish color. A very effective cure is to spray before the buds 
open in the spring (about April Ist) with a solution com- 
posed of 10 tablespoons of Dry Lime Sulphur and one gallon 
of water or one part Liquid Lime Sulphur and seven parts of 
water. The spraying must be done before growth 
starts. We especially recommend Cotoneaster to our 
customers.

trimmed hedge. The healthy, attractive, heavy, crinkled 
foliage withstands drought and extremely hot weather withcut 
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.

Buckthorn Hedge 
PLANTING THE HEDGE 
We recommend planting Cotoneaster, Buckthorn and Caragana 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.
