climbers is Euonymus radicans. This 

 also can be utilized for hedging purposes. 

 Planted in the open, it assumes a more 

 Bhrubby habit and one of the neatest 

 hedges I ever saw was of this plant, not 

 too closely trimmed. There is a varie- 

 gated form, but it is far inferior to the 

 green one. This euonymus is of easy 

 propagation in summer. Any of the 

 shoots of current season's growth, cut 

 off, planted closely together in a cold- 

 frame, shaded and kept well watered, will 

 soon root and make nice plants to set out 

 the following spring. Shoots cut from 

 plants against walls will usually be found 

 to have plenty of roots when cut off and 

 these establish themselves quickly. 



Eetinospora plumosa, the green plume 

 cedar, is often used as an evergreen 

 hedge plant. It stands shearing well and 

 has. a nice, compact habit of growth. The 

 golden variety, plumosa aurea, is par- 

 ticularly striking in winter, when its 

 golden color comes out well. 



Of course, there are many who would 

 strenuously object to the "mutilating" 

 of a number of the plants named for 

 hedging purposes. In parkways and on 

 large private estates there can be little 

 use for any of them, but formal gardens 

 are liked by many and on places of 

 small area they are often a necessity. 

 "Without in any way desiring to ape the 

 Italianesque style of gardening adopted 

 in America, there are many places where 

 trimmed evergreen hedges would be in 

 perfectly good taste. 



May and August are the ideal months 

 for planting evergreens, but the work can 

 be successfully done during any cool, 

 cloudy spell in summer. The great es- 

 sentials are to have good balls on the 

 roots, keep them from drying and water 

 well after planting.

ANOTHER PRESS SERVICE. 



The Illinois Outdoor Improvement As- 

 sociation has inaugurated a press service 

 and the first sheet mailed to editors 

 throughout the state is strictly horticul- 

 tural, "On Pruning Shrubbery." It 

 goes out over the signature of A. P. 

 Wyman, secretary, 17 East Van Buren 

 street, Chicago, and is as follows: 



"Sometimes the most simple matters 

 urge one into unnecessary work, and 

 pruning shrubbery is one of these. 



"This last winter was unusually se- 

 vere, and half hardy plants like the privet 

 and weigela were killed back or killed 

 to the ground, the roots remaining alive. 

 The only thing to do is to cut back each 

 branch to live wood, leaving no dead 

 wood at all. The new growth will come 

 out in surprising fashion this summer, 

 and you will soon hardly realize your 

 present loss. 



"The vital part of the plant is the 

 root rather than the stem, and if the 

 root is sound, the stem may go. A large, 

 ungainly shrub may often be made hand- 

 some by cutting it to the ground and al- 

 lowing it to grow up again. 



"Most shrubs not planted in hedge 

 form are better in appearance if not 

 pruned at all. "With ordinary shrubs 

 pruning should be the exception rather
