Would You Like To Have A Beautiful Hardy Hedge? 
For some years we have been growing Cotoneaster Acutifolia, from seed for 
hedge plants. This shrub is exceptionally hardy, and our seed is collected in northern 
Montana. It is known as a two-winter seed, requiring two seasons for germination. 
We had a fine germination in the Spring of 1954, and have several thousand fine 
young plants, from eight to eighteen inches high. These seedlings should be moved 
early in April as they start leafing out very early. When transplanted, they should 
be clipped back to not over five or six inches high, and they will then branch out 
and make a dense hedge. We would plant them about 12 inches apart, or a little 
less. A first class hedge, when five or six years old, should be kept about 16 inches 
high. We can furnish fine young plants at $10 per hundred, 8 to 15 inches high with 
very little branching. They make a single stem the first year. We have fine 18” to 
24” plants, well branched, transplanted, and these will provide an excellent hedge in 
8 to 12 months time. They will have from four to’six stems, and will be dense plants 
in another season. These are 35c per plant. The leaves become crimson in color after 
the first frost, and usually stay on until Thanksgiving time.
