Beautiful Borders of Living Green 
PLEASE NOTE—25 or MORE plants are sold at the 100 rate. 
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- 
liant, 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. See cut.

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

CURRANT, Alpine. (Ribes Alpinum.) Choice plant for use where

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.

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.

Buckthorn Hedge 
PLANTING THE HEDGE : : 
We recommend planting Cotoneaster and Buckthorn 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. 
HEDGE PLANTING CHARGES j 
A planting charge of twenty cents per lineal foot is charged for planting 
all varieties and sizes of hedge plants.
