CflLIFORNIrt PRIVET 
See fourth cover pa^e 
One of the leading hedge plants and undoubtedly the largest planted of them all; 
its foliage produces abundantly the deepest, richest green, almost an evergreen; does 
not shed its foliage until late winter and then only in an exposed condition. Very hardy 
easily and quickly pruned, you may shape it in any position desired by trimming. They 
should be planted inch deeper than they .stood in the nursery row; where you set it 
dig aout 12 inches deep and 12 inches wide use some stable manure at the roots (do 
not use any commercial fertilizer), set the plants if small grade 4 inches apart in 
the row, if large grade, 6 inches apart in the row, dip the roots in water before plant- 
ing; after plants are set cut them down to 4 inches from the surface of the ground, 
this will cause a thick new growth to start, and is very essential for a beautiful hedge, 
do not cut back again until they have made 10 inches of new growth, when cutting each 
time allow about 1 to 2 inches above where it was cut before until you get the heighth 
desired. After planting spread barn-yard manure at surface of ground; keep free from 
weeds the first two years, by this time "it will get its start, then nature will do the rest. 
Did you ever realize what "an admiring and luxuriant privet Hedge you could secure at 
a very small cost, and how much it would add to the value of your property? To find 
the exact number wanted, measure the space where it is to be planted and if set 4 
inches apart multiply the number of feet by 3; if planted 6 inches apart multiply the 
number of feet by 2,"this will give the exact number. Our privet is strictly first class, 
well branched and heavy rooted. Can be sucessfuUy set any month in the year that the 
soil is not frozen, except June, July and August.

BARBERRY THUNBERGII 
This is not the variety of Barberry which spreads wheat rust, and can safely be 
planted. ^ hedge Japanese Barberry Thunbergii stands at the head of the list, it 
succeeds without much attention, may be pruned or not just as the owner chooses, with- 
out pruning it will form a compact mass, so thick a cat can't get through. Barberry 
is hardier than California Privet. Spring and Summer leaves are very green and at- 
tractive- in autumn after most other shubs are bare, its small oval leaves then assume 
rich crimson colors and the slender branches droop with their load of bright red ber- 
ries which hang on until late winter. Owing to its dwarf habit of growing it is also 
extensively planted for borders, and single and bunched specimens on the lawn, no 
other shrub or hedge plant surpasses Barberry Thunbergii.
