California Privet. Thc best of all hardy hedge 
n T"t: : T~~ 7 plants. The city of Rochester, 
Y., is one of the most beautiful in the world. On almost 
every lot California privet hedges are planted to divide one 
lot from another. This privet hedge is also planted in front 
of most houses adjacent to the street. The privet hedge is 
easily kept at any height desired. This hedge holds its 
foliage nearly all winter. It is almost an evergreen. 
California privet is used in place of wire and board fences 
as it not only makes a more desirable and beautiful fence’ 
but is considerably cheaper per foot. One of the 
big advantages of planting this bush as a hedge is 
that it can be trimmed at any time of the year and 
can be shaped io any shape desired. Where broad 
hedges are desired, two rows of bushes are usually 
set, these rows being planted one foot apart and 
the bushes being set one foot apart in each row. 
The bushes are not set opposite each other in the 
hedge, but are alternate so that the bushes come 
six inches apart in the hedge. Where a hedge of 
ordinary width is desired, the bushes are set ten 
inches apart in a single row. In addition to plant¬ 
ing for hedging purposes the California privet 
makes a very desirable shrub when set as a single 
specimen.

Of late years, California privet has been the principal 
hedging plant. A hedge of this privet in front of the house 
is inexpensive and ornamental and is much cheaper than a 
fence. California privet is almost an evergreen, holding its 
foliage nearly all winter. 
Hedges of cedar (Arbor Vitae) and Norway spruce are 
desirable where windbreaks are wanted. 
The American Arbor Vitae is a favorite 
---evergreen. Its 
growth is not so rampant as to be objectionable, and yet it 
soon assumes a condition of great beauty, being attractive 
from the moment it is planted. The foliage is feathery and 
‘spraylike, becoming more dense after each pruning with 
shears. This evergreen seems to adapt itself to all locations 
but does especially well where the soil is moist. 
THE LIVE-FOREVER ROSE 
V e are proud of having called attention to this rose, which 
m some respects is one of the most remarkable. It grows so 
rapidly it may be. trained as a climbing rose. For a rose 
hedge there is nothing superior. I know of no rose that gives 
such a mass of bloom as the Live-Forever. It is hardy, 
enduring the coldest winters. It is only of late years that I 
have heard of rose hedges. I can imagine nothing more 
beautiful than a hedge of Live-Forever roses. I have it 
growing in groups on my lawn. It is a conspicuous feature 
even when seen at a distance on my three-acre tract. We 
have at the farm hedge rows of Live-Forever a thousand 
reet long. They are a sight worth going a long distance to see.
