Ai616—We consider this superior 
to any other hedging material for 
a thick, attractive, low-growing 
hedge. We have not been able to 
identify it botanically, but it has 
fine leaves of deep green, and seems 
to be mature at about 30” height. 
Being very dense and slow growing, 
much of the pruning necessary on 
an ordinary privet hedge is elim- 
inated, And apparently it is extra- 
ordinarily hardy. Plant 12 to 15” 
apart. About a 9” to 12” size, 12 
for 3.98; 25 for 7.75; 5SO for 
13.98, ppd. 
The Ideal Trimmed Hedge 
A1618—Amoor River Privet is the 
most widely used and most popular 
trimmed hedge. It is a hardy, fast- 
growing hedge that becomes in- 
creasingly dense and beautiful the 
more it is trimmed. Its natural 
habit of growth is bushy, yet up- 
right. The leaves are of a lustrous 
green color. Its early white flowers 
are followed by jet black berries. 
Plant it two or three feet apart 
for a tall-trimmed hedge, or with 
the same planting distances it could 
be allowed to grow naturally and 
untrimmed to form a screen up to 
15 feet tall. 
9 to 12 inches apart for a low, thick 
hedge. For this it is ideal. 
Most people plant it

A1i623—There is no sight of early 
spring more beautiful than a Spirea 
hedge in bloom, with its arching 
branches heavy laden with dainty 
blooms of pure white. And after 
the flowers are gone, it still is very 
attractive all summer because of its 
fine, green foliage.

Fencing 
The barbed 
wire fence was unnecessary when the Rosa Mul- 
tiflora grew up, which takes only about two years. 
It is tight enough to hold all livestock except an 
oceasional breachy sow. Fine for birds and small 
game refuge, pasture divider, snow atop, fire 
break, erosion control. And you never have to 
repair it.

A1624—Rosa Multiflora, 
the hardy Japanese 
Rose, gained its popu- 
larity first as a living 
field fence and for shel- 
ter belts and erosion 
control. But now many 
people are discovering 
that it also makes a 
fine trimmed or un- 
trimmed hedge, even on 
a small city lot as 
shown in picture below. 
It makes a dense, 
pretty, 
sters from wandering ft. 
out of the yard. 
In the spring, even if 
trimmed, it bears clus- 
ters of small, white, 
wild roses and, in the 
fall, the berries turn a 
bright red. If 
you let it grow, it will 
get tall enough to make 
a good screen and you 
never have to paint it! 
Ideal on terraces be- 
cause it stops washing. 
Does not sucker or 
to 6 ft. high, depending 
upon how you trim it. We do 
not offer the small conserva- 
tion grade as we believe the 
loss in planting is too great 
with that size plants. And 
our 18” to 24” Super Grade 
will make you a hedge in a 
hurry. 
Plant 18 inches apart for a 
trimmed hedge; 2 to 3 feet 
apart for an untrimmed or 
tall hedge.
