CALIFORNIA PRIVET FOR 

 SCREENS. 



"Ivera" in Rkview Aug. 7 s:iys: 

 "Thousands upon thousands of California 

 privet are being used for partition 

 screens. It makes a cheap, rapid and 

 most effective screen. More of it might 

 be used thus all over the country, par- 

 ticularly out "West." 



I have grown this plant in the latitude 

 of central Illinois for twenty yeai-s or 

 more, and have never known a plant, 

 screen or hedge of it to stand two con- 

 secutive winters without being injured 

 by the cold beyond repair, unless 

 very well protected by buildings or 

 some thorough protection. The plant will 

 not stand the winters about St. Louis 

 or Kansas City. I know this is one of 

 the best ornamental hedge plants near 

 the Atlantic coast, from Boston to Jack- 

 sonville, but it will not stand the climate 

 of the interior. 



Spiraea Van Houttei is a most ad- 

 mirable plant for a screen, or low hedge, 

 being hardy, tenacious of life, neat in 

 habit, most beautiful in bloom, and in 

 every way desirable. The be.s< orna- 

 mental hedge plant I have ever seen. 



Ccnterville, Ind. E. T. T. 



South Portsmouth, R. I. — E. J. Grin- 

 nell & Son report an excellent season's 

 business in the bedding plant lino. They 

 did better than usual with their I'ouse of 

 tomatoes and cucumbers this year, as the 

 cold and backward spring held back 

 outdoor-grown vegetables.
