The Leedham Bulb Co., Santa Cruz, 

 •Cal., has sent us a remarkable daffodil 

 iloner. It came from a bulb among their 

 lot of Ard Eigh and the trumpet is 

 similar to that of this variety, but it has 

 ten .>-<;j>als instead of the usual six. The 

 sepals are all perfect in form and regu- 

 larly jdaeed. It is a very handsome 

 flower. The bulb has been marked and 

 should it and its increase retain the pe- 

 culiarity of producing flowers with ten 

 sepals there wJl be a very notable addi 

 tion to the daffodil family. 



PLANT NOTES. 



Hedge Trees. 



Some years ago no landscape gar- 

 <dener thought a garden complete unless 

 it had an evergreen hedge surrounding 

 at. From the earliest plantings in C'ali- 

 iornia until a short time ago the nati\e 

 iVlonti'rey cypress was used almost ex- 

 clusively. This idea was borrowed from 

 the old missions, where the close-eroppei 

 iedgfs of the Cupressus maerocarpa 

 were as much of a feature as the 

 crumbling buildings themselves. This 

 tree grows easily and very quickly from 

 ■aeed, which is planted in flats from April 

 until July. Tlie seeds sprout readily in 

 the open air and are transplanted late 

 in the fall into boxes containing aboui. 

 100 trees each. They are easily handled 

 and are from ten inches to one foot high 

 by the following spring, when they sell 

 usually for about $15 per thousand. It 

 they are kept another season in the same 

 box they grow to about one and a half 

 to two feet high, when they bring about 

 -$25 per thousand. There has been a big 

 demand for this tree for several years 

 and many of our nurserymen have de- 

 voted almost their entire time to their 

 propagation and sale. The tree attains 

 5t3 gfreatest size when planted not too 

 far from the ocean, and is one of our 

 •most fliaracteristie trees when used for 

 liedgs planting, or as individual speci- 

 imens. 



The Monterey piue, when a large wind- 

 treak or hedge is desired, can be used 

 ■equally as well as the cypress, with the 

 •exception that it cannot be trimmed as 

 closely, and does not grow as readily 

 from seed. Wlieu planted in the open. 

 Jiowever. the Pinus insignis takes hold 

 Teadily and mak?s a niagnifieent tree. 



In smaller places where a hedge or 

 screen is desired I find that Pittosporum

!-eeiu to lie in most demand. They grow 

 readily from seed and attain a height 

 of about si.\ inches in about the same 

 number of months, when they can be 

 readily tran.splanted from flats into 2- 

 inch pots or in tha open. They attain 

 a height of two feet the next season, 

 when they are ready for sale. They are 

 easy to tran.splant and can be kept 

 at almost any size by judicious pruning, 

 although the tre3 when allowed to grow 

 naturally attains considerable size. The 

 Laurus tinus also makes a very desira- 

 ble hedge. It is grown from soft 

 wooded cuttings, struck in sand in the 

 early spring. It makes a bushy shrub 

 when about two years old and although 

 it is not of such rapid growth as the 

 pittosporum family it mak3s a splendid 

 flowering hedge and stands trimming 

 well. The California privet, although in 

 much favor throughout the eastern 

 states, is not planted here to any extent. 

 Regarding the trimming of trees 

 used in hedges, I have found that al- 

 most any variety that is adapted to that 

 purpose can be kept at any height by 

 frequent and judicious pruning. I have 

 a Monterey cypress hedge on my grounds 

 that has been planted thirty-tiva years 

 and is at the present time only four feet 

 liigh and thirty inches through, al- 

 tliough the natural growth of the cypress 

 is about ten feet per year when it gets 

 well established in the ground. G.

The dark days and southeasterly 

 winds tell of the long looked for rain of 

 which California is much in need, but 

 tlie showers have not visited us yet. As 

 a consequence of the dark weather wo
