A1619—This. is the plant that is taking the country by 
storm. Everyone north, south, east and west is plant- 
ing Rosa Multiflora, some that should and some that 
should not. We do not advocate Rosa Multiflora for 
Minnesota, Upper Wisconsin and similar cold areas 
as they will winter kill to the ground. But in all 
other areas, go to it. You can not find a better or 
more useful plant. 
Rosa Multiflora is a hardy Japanese rose. It came 
into popularity first as a living field fence, and as an 
was found that it made a fine hedge, either trimmed 
or untrimmed, even for a small city lot. We show here 
a picture of a lightly sheared Rosa Multiflora hedge 
growing here in Shenandoah on a small property. The 
hedge was 3 years old when this picture was taken. 
Was almost this tall the second year. 
In the spring, the plants are festooned from top to 
bottom with clusters of glistening white single blos- 
soms, and in the fall it is thickly set with bright red 
berries, very fine for winter bouquets, either natural 
or dipped in paint or glittering material. Makes a 
dense, thorny barrier that stops traffic across your 
yard, garden or field. Does not sucker nor spread so 
does not interfere with nearby garden plants. Weeds 
won't grow under it, and it is easy to run a lawn 
mower under its arching branches. 
If lefe untrimmed, will grow to about 6 or 8 feet 
and then get no taller, and about 6 feet broad. Can 
be trimmed smaller if desired. 
We offer two grades: 
9 to 15-inch size, 25 for 1.89; 50 for 3.19; 100 for 
5.49; postpaid. 1,000 for 45.00, express not prepaid. 
12 to 18-inch size, 12 for 1.32; 25 for 2.25; 50 for 
3.98; 100 for 6.98, postpaid. 1,000 for 63.50, express 
not prepaid.
