Hedge of CaUfornia Privet 



HOW TO PLANT CALIFORNIA PRIVET 



Thoroughly prepare and pulverize the soil to a 

 depth of about 18 inches and 2 feet wide. If the soil 

 is poor, work into it some good, rich top-soil, and also 

 a little well-rotted stable manure (do not use new 

 manure). Set the plants 6 inches apart in a single 

 row, about 1 inch deeper than they set in the nursery 

 row, spread out the roots and tamp the soil thoroughly 

 about them as in the case of planting trees, the 

 firmer the better, leaving about an inch of loose 

 soil at the top to conserve moisture. A good 

 coating of stable manure on top of the ground 

 about the plants will be excellent, and will help 

 them to make a rapid growth. After the plants are 

 all set out, cut them back evenly with a sharp knife 

 or clipper to within 6 to 8 inches of the top of the 

 ground. This will cause a new growth to start out 

 close to the ground and will, in a year or two, make 

 you a hedge to be proud of. Don't begin to shape the 

 hedge by further cutting until the new growth 

 is at least 18 inches high, which growth it will usually 

 make before the end of the first season. 



COWPEA SEED 



Cowpeas lor Seed, Hay and Soil Improvement 



Now that the advantages of legumes are getting to be so well known, we think it advisable to 

 offer seed. In our experience the growing of trees is hard on land. This is true to such an extent that 

 we have to rest our land for a couple of years after growing a crop or two of trees on it. We 

 find that nothing will so quickly restore vitality and fertility as Cowpeas. We plant them between 

 seedlings and put them in at every opportunity we get. 



Every planter of an orchard ought to make use of some legume to fill his soil full of nitro- 

 gen for the use of his trees. Almost always Cowpeas will be the best legume to be found. They 

 can be put in among other crops, the tops harvested or turned under. As a cover-crop, mixed with 

 some oats, they are fine. The market prices change so much and so often that we can not quote 

 prices; but write us when you want some and we will quote; or, tell us in your order how many 

 you need, and we will make them lowest market rates. Wire or write to us at once for samples 

 and prices.
