fornia privet that was killed to the 

 ground, Amur River privet, from Siberia, 

 and Ibota privet, from Japan, are both 

 perfectly sound and budding from the 

 tips. Each resembles in general appear- 

 ance, habit of growth, foliage, etc., the 

 California privet. Each holds its leaves 

 and purple berries well along into win- 

 ter. I think either is equal to California 

 privet in every respect and superior in 

 some points. 



Berberis Thunbergii, Japanese bar- 

 berry, is also a most desirable hedge 

 plant, as well as one of the most orna- 

 mental of recently introduced shrubs, re- 

 markable for its dense, spreading growth, 

 its hardiness and attractive appearance 

 throughout the year. It also is one of 

 the earliest to start in spryj^. Ji is 

 covered with the greenness of its dainty 

 little leaves and a few weeks later with 

 myriads of small yellow flowers, followed 

 by an abundant crop of fruit, ripening 

 into scarlet berries, which remain to 

 make the bush a conspicuous and attract- 

 ive object all winter. The beautiful au- 

 tumn coloring of the leaves, which as- 

 sume the brightest shades of orange, 

 scarlet and crimson, is not the least of 

 the attractions of this interesting shrub. 

 It is one of the best plants for shrub- 

 bery borders, for edgings, or for hedges. 

 By trimming, it can be kept of any size 

 or shape desired, or, if allowed to grow 

 without interruption, it will make a de- 

 fensive hedge four or five feet high and 

 six or eight feet broad. Its thorns are 

 sharp and severe enough to bar all but 

 the most determined intruders. 



Spireea Van Houttei I consider the 

 best of all shrubs for an ornamental 

 hedge, where absolute strength is not es- 

 sential, being a neat shrub of pleasing 

 appearance at all times and one of the 

 most handsome of all when in bloom. 

 The plant is extremely hardy, easily 

 transplanted and generally kept by nur- 

 serymen. The plant attaiias five to seven 

 feet when allowed to grow untrained. It 

 can be kept within two feet if desired. 



All the shrubs mentioned above should 

 be planted in hedge row eighteen inches 

 apart. Most shrubs should be trimmed 

 into shape just after their blooming 

 period, so that the season's growth may 

 be devoted to forming wood for the fu- 

 ture. E. Y. Teas. 



SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. 



Magnolias are the most beautiful of 

 all the large trees valued for their flow- 

 ers. There are a great many varieties 

 in cultivation, but for the northern states 

 only the hardiest should be planted and 

 even these should be given a sheltered 

 position. Magnolias are rank feeders 

 and for that reason they will only suc- 

 ceed when planted in fairly rich soil.

They are by no means easy to trans- 

 plant and need great care in moving. 

 Spring is the only safe time to handle 

 them. 



Pyrus Japoxica makes a splendid 

 show in early summer, when in its full 

 glory of a blaze of showy red. It is not 

 only handsome as a shrub itj specimen 

 form, but it is also handsome and useful 

 when used as a hedge plant. Pyrus 

 Japonica is perfectly hardy everywhere,
