HI—AMOOR RIVER NORTH PRIVET 
(Ligustrum Amurense) 
THE COUNTRY'S GREATEST FORMAL HEDGE 
Hardiest of all Russian Privets, and the only Privet to use for hedge planting 
in the North. Thick, compact grower, with dense, shiny green leaves that remain 
on the plant until late in the season. Frequent shearing gives a very formal effect, 
and you can maintain a hedge of any desired height. Plant 12 inches apart in 
the hedge row, setting them deeply so that the lower branches come below the 
surface of the ground, then trim back the tops one-third to one-half to develop a 
dense, solid hedge from the ground up. 10 25 100

A great favorite all over the country. It grows extremely fast, is completely

are densely covered with artistic, fine leaves from early spring until late fall. The

ground hedges. Plant 1 foot apart; set the plants deeply and cut their tops back 
close to the ground. 10 25 100

~H7—ROSA MULTIFLORA 
LIVING ROSE FENCE 
Rosa Multiflora is an excellent, tight hedge fence for large areas, but is not 
suitable for small lawns. With its thick, intertwining branches and innumerable 
thorns, it develops in a few years into an erect, 8 ft., stock-proof hedge. It holds 
down fence line weeds, it does not rob the soil around it, nor does it spread like the 
old Osage Orange. Wonderful for bird sanctuaries, a splendid snow fence, and 
ideal for erosion control; Rosa Multiflora has been strongly recommended by the 
State Conservation Board. In early June the plants are profusely covered with love- 
ly white single roses; the leaves come early in the spring and stay on until late 
fall. It requires no clipping, no training, no supports. Plant 1 ft. apart.
