Hedge of California Privet 
Privet, California (.Ligustrum ovalifolium ). Of all 
ornamental Hedge plants this is the most popular, 
and more of it is planted than all others combined. 
Its foliage is a rich dark green, and is nearly ever¬ 
green, remaining on the plant until midwinter. 
It is of free growth, and succeeds under the most 
adverse conditions, such as under dense shade of 
trees, where other plants would not exist. See 
illustration, page 40.)

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 for 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.
