Make your dream home 
come true. Some trees for a 
background and at the ends 
to frame the building, a few 
shrubs or evergreens as a 
foundation planting and at 
the corners for accent, will 
add wonderfully to the beau¬ 
ty of your home. Write our 
landscape department for 
particulars. Or drive to Sar- 
coxie and talk it over. We 
are prepared to render a 
complete service, from draw¬ 
ing the plans to furnishing 
and planting the trees and 
shrubs. You can depend 
upon well grown stock, lib¬ 
erally graded. 
Trivet for hedging 
Plant 10 to 12 in. apart. Prune back to within 4 to 6 in. 
of the ground to make them branch low and thickly. The sec¬ 
ond spring, if not sufficiently thick, they may again be pruned 
back a little higher. After that prune to keep the hedge the 
height and width desired, usually about three times a year. Avoid 
severe pruning after the middle of August. 
Amur River North Privet; Ligustrum amurense 
A rapid growing Privet of upright habit, taking the place of 
California as it is reliably hardy here. Very fragrant small white 
flowers like tiny lilacs in late May, followed by black berries; 
seldom blooms when pruned as a hedge.
