Privet the Living Fence 

Plant 10 to 12 inches apart. Prune back to within 4 to 6 
inches of the ground to make them branch low and thickly. 
The second spring, if not sufficiently thick, again prune 
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. 
Privet, Amur River North; Ligustrum amurense. A rapid 
growing Privet of upright habit, taking the place of Cali- 
fornia 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.

Peonies Are Easily Grown

few clumps will reward you each spring with beautiful, fra- 
grant flowers of all colors, showy white, light and deep 
shades of pink, gorgeous reds and crimson.

gardens one sees large clumps that have flourished and 
bloomed for years, yet they amply repay all attention given 
them. Peonies thrive in almost any good, well drained soil.
