one of the finest privets for shear work 

 in all shapes, but owing to the change- 

 able seasons during the last four years, 

 the privet froze to the ground. Es- 

 pecially during the last two years has 

 the beauty attained in former years 

 been lost, and in the early spring it 

 gives only an unsightly appearance. I 

 am dispensing with this variety and 

 shall try Ligustrum Amurense, north- 

 em type, or L. Ibota. Before doing 

 BO, however, I shall appreciate any ad- 

 vice as to which is the best for hedg- 

 ing purposes. I have used Ibota in 

 formal and shrubbery purposes, but 

 have not used L. Amurense, or Amoor 

 river privet. W. H. — Pa. 



Either Ligustrum Ibota, Japanese 

 privet, or L. Amurense, Amoor river 

 privet, would be much more satisfac- 

 tory than L. ovalifolium, California 

 privet, which is unreliable and should 

 never be planted where minimum tem- 

 peratures of 10 and 20 degrees below 

 zero are recorded. I would personally 

 prefer L. Ibota, which will withstand 

 any degree of cold you may have. It 

 is a rapid grower and, while the foliage 

 is not so glossy green as that of the 

 California privet, it makes a splendid 

 hedge. While I admire a hedge of 

 L. Amurense, I consider L. Ibota a 

 better variety, and you will make no 

 mistake in planting it. C. W, 



Toledo, O. — By training and occupa- 

 tion J. J. Lasalle is a doctor, but that 

 does not preclude his also being a mar- 

 ket gardener. At any rate. Dr. La- 

 salle now is building two houses for 

 vegetable forcing. 



Topeka, Ean. — The new era of pros- 

 perity has settled down for a comfort- 

 able stay here, at least as far as the 

 florists' business is concerned. The 

 florists' Easter trade was most satisfac- 

 tory and several concerns are contem- 

 plating the erection of additional 

 houses. J. M. Kessler is making plans 

 for a good-sized house; the Hayes Seed 

 Co. will invest in a new range; A. G. 

 Clark has blueprints for a small range 

 and Frank Sachs has several important 

 improvements to be made after the 

 spring business.
