E10— American Arbor-Vitae. (White Cedar). The Finest Ever- 
green for Hedges. See descrip- 
tion and prices for other sizes on page 34. On account of its beautiful lacy foli- 
age, ease in transplanting, and the fact that it withstands shearing better than 
any other variety, it is the most popular evergreen for hedge purposes. Plant 2 
ft. apart in the hedge row; likes lots of moisture.

H6-— Rosa Miliiflora. Living Rose Fence. Rosa Multiflora is an ex- 
cellent, tight hedge fence for large areas, 
but is not suitable for small lawns. With its thick, intertwining branches and in- 
numerable 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 Conseryation Board. In early June the plants 
are profusely covered with lovely 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.

H8— Amoonr River North Priuet. (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. See picture below.
