The members of this large family of hardy plants adapt themselves readily to 
most soils and situations and are found useful for many purposes. Excellent for 
screen planting, hedges, borders, etc. To insure success it is advisable at planting 
time to cut the branches of these plants back at least one half. This treatment will help
