The living fence. This can be started from seed the first 
season if the seed is properly conditioned. Tests made last 
season were very satisfactory. This makes an attractive 
fence and when once established is a permanent living 
fence and will, if the thorny kind is used, keep out stock, : 
: cattle, horses and hogs. Ornamental with its white roses in 
| summer, red berries in fall or winter. 
Conditioning: 
To condition Rosa Multiflora mix with dirt or sand and 
water, and place in your locker or refrigerator. Freeze for 
twenty-four hours, then thaw for a like time. Repeat twice 
and sow at once. Or stratify in fall. Firm soil after sowing 
| this and other seeds. This should get very good germi- 
nation. 
Rosa multiflora seedlings shou'd be mulched the first and 
second year, and when transp!anted should be about 12 to 
18 inches apart in a row. They should be protected against 
stock until they have a good start. This can be done with 
an electric fence or other methods. They will grow faster | 
if cultivated.
