Hedges Beautify As They Serve 
FOR boundary, screen or barrier there is nothing 
more pleasing than a hedge fence. With their bright 
green leaves they constantly bring a feeling inspired 
by the fresh foliage of spring. When formally 
trained or left to develop naturally their arched 
branches, colored foliage and bright berries are 
surely more pleasing than the mechanical effect ob¬ 
tained by the similar use of wood or metal. Most 
hedges are permanent and with the exception of oc¬ 
casional shearing they need little attention after 
being established. 
PLANTING 
The distances vary according to the conditions. 
Where an impenetrable hedge is wanted plant the 
Privets 6-10 inches, Japan Barberry 8-12 inches and 
the flowering shrubs 12-18 inches apart. Where 
height is wanted rather than thickness then double 
the distance. The size of stock purchased will make 
but little difference in planting distance. In plant¬ 
ing, place as deeply or slightly deeper in the trench 
than they stood in the nursery row and firm well. 
Most hedges should be severely pruned at planting 
time. It seems as though you are cutting away good 
wood but to encourage growth from the bottom it is 
necessary to do this. 
The after pruning should consist of clipping the 
young growth at regular intervals. There is no 
special time except it might be well to avoid late 
pruning in the fall as this encourages young growth 
that is frequently killed by severe weather.

CALIFORNIA PRIVET 
Ligustrum Ovalifolium —A semi-evergreen hedge 
with thick, shining, leathery leaves, that grows very 
rapidly, can be pruned into any formal effect and 
planted by every one needing a quick hedge without 
much expense and trouble. It blooms in spring, the 
fragrant white flowers being noticeable for some dis¬ 
tance. In planting it is a good idea to cut away prac¬ 
tically all the tops of the smaller plants in order to 
get a bushy hedge. We have quantities of this de¬ 
sirable variety.
