 tions, but not in New England. Tlie 

 pacliysandras are easily propagated by 

 root divisions and, treated like boxwood, 

 they are readily rooted in any garden 

 soil. 



TRIMMING A PRIVET HEDGE. 



Wiiat is the proper way to trim a 

 privet hedge after planting f I have 

 just planted a California privet hedge 

 100 feet long, with two rows of plants. 

 The plants were two to three feet high. 

 I set the plants twelve inches apart in 

 the row and the rows are about nine 

 inches apart. I have cut them back 

 within twelve inches of the ground. Have 

 I cut them back enough? I want a 

 dense, wall-like hedge down to the 

 ground and only three feet high. 



T. W. 



It would have been better to cut the 

 plants down to from four to six inches 

 of the ground. They will readily break 

 and make a good thick bottom for your 

 hedge. As soon as they have made 

 growth six to eight inches long, clip 

 them veith a pair of shears. Go over 

 them again a month later and repeat the 

 operation still again before growth 

 ceases. Frequent clipping — three to four 

 times each summer — wiU be necessary if 

 you want a low, thick and compact 

 hedge. W. C. 



CAPE JASMINES. 



Alvin, Tex. — J. A. Hall says there 

 are prospects of a good crop of cape 

 jasmine, though much still depends on 

 future weather conditions, as the crop 

 will probably not begin moving till the 

 early part of May. 



Alvin, Tex. — Under the new nursery 

 inspection law now in force in this state 

 the cape jasmine shippers here have had 

 to have their bushes inspected and will at- 

 tach an inspection certificate to each box 

 or basket of buds shipped. Stevens & 

 Heller, who are successors to W. A. Den- 

 nis, have about 6,000 bushes. They say 

 they expect cutting to begin about May 

 7 or 8, the season being now a few days 

 earlier than last year. The size of the 

 crop will be about the same as last sea- 

 son, the quality generally good. 



Salt Lake City, Utah. — After serv- 

 ice covering a period of ten years, A. M. 

 Holter, the florist at Liberty park, has 

 Bent in his resignation to the board of 

 park commissioners. While he declines 

 to state his reasons for resigning, his 

 friends state that he feels that he can do 

 considerably better in business for him- 

 self. He recently erected some green- 

 houses for his own use.

Pink Climbing Rose- 

 Dorothy Perkins 



Without doubt the most valuable of all the new 

 Climbing Roses of comparatively recent introduc- 

 tion. The beauty of the double piuk flowers is 

 admirably set oflT by the rich green foliage, which 

 is free from the attacks of insects. 



In addition to this charming kind, we have all 

 the popular varieties in climbing and bush Roses. 

 Our General Catalogue, which will be mailed on 

 request, contains descriptions of all the best Roses
