true variety. For the South itis far superior to 
the California Privet, which loses its leaves during 
winter, whereas the Amoor River Privet retains its 
foliage throughout the entire year. Since 1806 we 
have cultivated 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, adapted iteself to almost any 
soil not too arid or extremely wet. If properly 
treated, a hedge may be secured in two years after 
planting.

How to Make a Privet Hedge — Prepare the ground 
by plowing or spading to the proper width and 
depth. Open 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 fertilizer. Mix the manure or 
fertilizer thoroughly 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 the nursery 
row. Firm the earth well about the roots, level off, 
and then cut the plants bark 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 suceeding growth until 
your hedge has reached the desired height and width. 
Cultivate well. 
Poncirus 
Poncirus trifoliata. (Citrus trifoliata). (Japan 
Hardy Orange. Trifoliate Orange). Far more de¬ 
sirable 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 my¬ 
riads of white flowers, nothing is more attractive; 
and while not an evergreen, the vivid green wood 
makes 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 mid¬ 
dle of May and the others while the young growth 
is tender. If delayed until the wood is hardened, 
it will require more time and increased labor. Ai 
excellent hedge-knife can be made by taking a 28- 
incli scythe blade, srtaightening the shank and 
riveting it to a 14 or 18 inch straight wooden 
handle.
