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.

Strawberries in the Home Garden 
Strawberries are so easily grown that there is no reason why 
every family should not enjoy all that richness of flavor which 
is attained only when fully ripened on the vine and served fresh. 
Any soil that will grow good corn or potatoes will grow good 
strawberries. Plenty of humus or well rotted vegetable matter 
in the soil will help retain moisture during dry weather. Well 
rotted manure worked into the soil will provide both humus 
and fertility, and give you more, larger and better berries. 
Strawberries planted this spring will give a full crop next spring. 
Everbearing varieties will give a crop the first summer. For 
Varieties and prices see page 32. 
“Hardy “Vines, Natures “Drapery 
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.

trellises, trees, rocks or low stone walls; succeeds in sun or 
partial shade.

ters covering the upper part of the plant in September. Its de- 
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 
trellis, or for covering rocky slopes. Succeeds in full sun or
