S. W. Marshall & Son, the nursery- 

 men of Fresno, say that the apple groves 

 in the foothill and coast region of Cali- 

 fornia fully sustain the reputations of 

 the best eastern varieties. Apple grow- 

 ing is on the increase on the coast. 



The Arkansas State Horticultural So- 

 ciety holds its twenty-fifth annual con- 

 vention at Rogers January 24 to 26. 

 The state has sprung into a leading 

 position for fruit production. Ernest 

 Walwer, Fayetteville, Ark., is secretary 

 of the society. 



In the selection of a collection of 

 shrubs it is generally the case that too 

 much attention is given to the blossom- 

 ing of varieties and consequently many 

 species of indubitable worth are left out. 

 There are many traits of shrubs to look 

 to besides the flowers, but chiefly the 

 harmony of foliage, the autumnal effects 

 and, last, but by no means least, says 

 John W. Duncan, the beautiful effects 

 from the many colors of fruits. 



CALIFORNIA PRIVET. 



1 would like to hear through the Re- 

 view the best way to raise California 

 privet. Have a nice hedge of it and 

 would like to extend it farther. 



J. P. E. 



The easiest method of propagation for 

 California privet, and that most generally 

 practiced, is to take cuttings eight to 

 twelve inches long in late fall, say No- 

 vember, of year-old-wood. These should 

 be tied in small bunches and buried in the 

 ground over winter. In spring, plant in 

 rows quite thickly and wide enough apart 

 in the rows to permit of frequent culti- 

 vation. If bushy plants are desired, pinch 

 the tops from all strong shoots once or 

 twice during the growing season. After the 

 first season's growth is completed the 

 plants are in danger of being killed by 

 severe frost. It would be better to dig 

 them up and heel in the soil quite deeply, 

 replanting in April and at the same time 

 cutting back the plants quite hard. This 

 will insure nice, bushy specimens. 



Cuttings as short aa four inches can be 

 used if necessary. Be sure the ground 

 is firmly tramped about them also when 

 the rooted plants are transplanted. The 

 best time to plant California privet is 

 April or the early part of May. Fall 

 planting cannot be recommended.
