Citrus trifoliata. Hardy Orange. 
Citrus trifoliata. Japan Hardy Orange; Trifoliate 
Orange. This popular plant was first disseminated 
by us, and is the coming hedge-plant for defensive 
as well as ornamental purposes. Far more desirable 
than Osage Orange. It is hardy as far north as New 
Jersey, and if planted in good soil an impenetrable 
hedge can be had three years from planting. 
In . 'early spring, when covered with myriads of 
white flowers, nothing is more attractive; and 
while not an evergreen, the vivid green wood 
mak^s it appear bright during the winter. Plants 
may be set one foot apart. The plants require two 
or three annual shearings, the first about the middle 
of May and the others while the voung growth is 
tender. If delayed until the wood is hardened, it will 
require more time and increased labor. An excellent 
hedge-knife can be made by taking a 28-inch scvthe 
blade, straightening the shank and riveting it to a 
14 or 18-inch straight wooden handle.

Ligustrum. Privet. 
Ligustrum Amurense. Amoor River Privet. The true 
variety. For the South it is far superior to the Cali¬ 
fornia Privet, which loses its leaves during winter, 
Citrus Trifoliata Hedge. 
whereas the Amoor River Privet retains its foliage 
throughout the entire year. Since 1866 we have cul¬ 
tivated and disseminated millions of the Amoor River 
Privet, and it is without doubt the most popular 
evergreen hedge plant of the day. It is of rapid 
growth, adapts itself to almost any soil not too arid 
or extremely wet. If properly treated, a hedge may 
be secured in two years after planting.

contrary This also avoids the possibility of the plants 
heating, should there be delay in transit. 
L. ovalifolium. California Privet. This is a verv 
popular variety for hedges North and West. Leave's 
are larger and growth more erect than L. Amurense.

How to Make a Privet Hedge — Prepare the ground by 
plowing or spading to the proper width and depth. Ojren 
the trench 12 inches wide by 15 inches deep. Apply 
to this a liberal amount of well-rotted stable manure*, 
and if this is. not available, bone meal or some high 
grade of fertilizer. Mix the manure or fertilizer thor- 
oughlv with the soil. Set the plants in a straight line 
in the trench one foot apart, about one inch deeper than 
they originally stood in tire nursery row. Firm the 
earth well about the roots, level off.’ and then cut the 
plants back to within four inches of the ground. In 
the spring, after the plants have made a growth of six 
or eight inches, cut off one-half of this growth, both 
side and top. and proceed in a like manner with each 
succeeding growth until your hedge has reached the do 
sired height and width. Cultivate well.
