THE SARCOXIE NURSERIES PEONY FIELDS 
Trivet for ‘hedging 
Plant 10 to 12 in. apart. Prune back to within 4 to 6 in.

height and width desired, usually about three times a year. Avoid 
severe pruning after the middle of August.

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

When planting cut the tops back severely, particularly cling¬ 
ing vines such as English, Engleman’s and Boston Ivy, and 
Euonymus, as it is the new growth which clings. Twining 
vines, such as Bittersweet, Clematis, Honeysuckle and Wisteria, 
must have a support around which to twine. Wisteria becomes 
heavy and should have a strong support. Soil near a foundation 
is often poor. Replace it with good soil, and see that they do 
not suffer for lack of water, especially the first season. 
Five or more of a kind at the 10 rate. 
If by parcel post add 3c each, not less than 10c per package, 
for Missouri and adjoining states, except mail sizes. 
Bittersweet, American; Celastrus scandens 
In November the Bittersweets are supreme among vines, with 
their orange-yellow seed pods which open and disclose the 
bright red seeds. Those of the American are clustered thickly 
at the ends of the branches. Autumn foliage yellow. A high 
climbing, twining vine, reaching a height of 20 ft. Succeeds in 
sun or partial shade.

licious fragrance resembles that of English Hawthorn. Growth 
rapid, reaching a height of 15 to 20 ft. It clings by the leaf 
stems twining around the support. Excellent on porch, arbor or
