The circular referred to above, which 

 is for free distribution, discusses all 

 phases of the question and gives many 

 helpful suggestions. 



TRIMMING PRIVET. 



Can you inform me the proper time to 

 trim a California privet hedge? I live 

 in Kentucky. J- E. M. 



Allow the plants to make five to six 

 inches of new growth before shearing 

 them. About the first week in June 

 should be a good time with you. If you 

 want a dense wall-like hedge, clip several 

 times during the season. The leaves will 

 then come somewhat smaller and the 

 growth thick. Allow time between the 

 last trinwffing and the time growth ceases 

 for the plants to make three to four 

 inches of growth. This is better than 

 leaving them too formally level on top 

 and sides over winter. C 



EVERGREEN HEDGE. 



"What would make a hardy, dense ever- 

 green hedge, that would grow from two 

 and one-half feet to three feet high, and 

 that would withstand trimming. It gets 

 rather cold here in Illinois during the 

 winter, having been about 16 degrees be- 

 low zero this last season. As to having 

 flowers, my customer does not care much 

 about that; he would rather have dense 

 green foliage. H. E. M. 



Thuya occidentalis, the American ar- 

 bor-vita;, will make as fine a hedge as 

 you could get. It withstands close shear- 

 ing and is absolutely winter hardy. 

 Retinospora plumosa vrill also stand close 

 trimming and makes a neat hedge. A 

 hedge of California privet would be in- 

 expensive, but it would undoubtedly Mil 

 to the ground with you, and would lose its 

 foliage, even if it did not winter kill. 

 Ligustrum Eegelianum and L. Ibota are 

 much hardier and more satisfactory 

 privets for cold climates. C. W. 



THE APPLE PACKAGE BILL. 



A bill has been introduced in congress 

 to provide for a standard size package 

 for apples and is now up before the 

 House Committee on Agriculture and 

 many arguments pro and con are being 

 heard. The bill calls for a standard 

 package containing 2,342 cubic inches

AMMONIATED 



LAWN LINE 



Kills Weeds— Makes Grass Grow 



Applied as a light top dressing to lawns, it kills all flat leaved wiseds, sach as 

 Dandelion, Daisy, Plantain, Sorrel, Chickweed, Moss, etc., in 48 hours and 

 without other fertilizer produces a wonderful, luxuriant, rich green growth of lawn 

 grass — which is distinctly noticeable 60 feet away. 



The use of Ammoniated Lawn Lime supersedes hand weeding of lawns, 

 putting greens, etc. It saves the grass from being pulled up and in many cases 

 ruined. Grasses take a new, vigorous growth, avoiding probable trouble in future.
