their yards and gardens with box, privet and ever- 
greens. Today we use a good deal of the Japanese 
barberry, while Uncle Sam’s recent free distribu-

bush-like plant—the kochia, or summer cypress, 
good for low hedges. 
But there is that publisher cutting off my space 
again! So I can just add a word about the lovely 
new summer lilac or buddleia. A tiny plant of this, 
costing only 25 cents, grows into a nice four-foot 
bush the first summer, and blooms until late in the 
season. 
Most of these shrubs can be easily grown from 
cuttings, however, so just ask your friends to re- 
member you when they do their pruning.
