This is the coming hedge plant for defensive as well 
as ornamental 2 far more desirable than 
Osage Orange. ardy as far north as New Jersey, 
and if planted in good soil an impenetrable hedge can 
be had three years from planting. It is entirely free 
from insect depredations and fungous diseases. In 
early spring when covered with myriads of white flow- 
ers nothing is more attractive, and while not an ever- 
green, the vivid green wood makes it appear bright 
during the winter. Plants may be set one foot apart. 
Our hedges of this plant were the first planted in the 
United States, and make an impenetrable barrier for 
anything from a rabbit to an elephant. 
Hedges of this plant require two or three annual 
shearings, the first about the middle of May and the 
others while the young growth is tender. If delayed 
until wood is hardened, it will require more time and 
increased labor, An excellent hedge knife сап be made 
by taking a 28-inch scythe blade, straightening the 
shank and riveting it to a 14- or 18-inch straight wooden 
handle. 
Ligustrum 
Amurense (Amoor River Privet). True. Our hedges 
of this desirable evergreen have for years past been 
noted for their perfect shape and appearance. It far 
surpasses the variety eultivated in northern sections 
under the name of California Privet (Ligustrum 
ovalifolium), which assumes a dingy green tint in winter, 
and sometimes loses its leaves during very cold weather, 
whereas the Amoor River Privet retains its brighter green 
eolor throughout the entire year. We have cultivated this 
plant sinee 1866, and during that time have propagated and 
sold immense quantities for planting hedges, which are now 
to be found in every section of the southern states. It has 
stood a cold of 20 degrees below zero in western North Caro- 
lina, and is equally successful in south Florida, thus with- 
standing both extremes of heat and cold. It is, therefore, 
the most desirable of all broad-leaved evergreens where a 
tall hedge is needed. Growth very rapid; adapts itself to 
any soil not too arid or a swamp. If properly treated, a good 
hedge may be expected in two years after planting. Set 
plants 12 inches apart in ordinary soil, but in very rich land 
18 to 24 inches distance may be given. After plants are set, 
eut baek to 8 to 10 inches in order to make a dense hedge. 
Well branched, 24 to 30 inches, $5 per 100, $40 per 1,000.

variety for hedges North and West. Leaves larger and

PRUNING.—No special time ean be named. Тһе new growth 
should be sheared whenever it has reached a length of 6 to 8 
inches. Cut off one-half of this growth and proceed in same 
manner with each succeeding shearing until the hedge has at- 
tained the desired height, then leave half an inch of new wood 
at each clipping. In forwarding plants, especially during the 
early fall or winter months, we would suggest that the tops be 
eut off to 12 inches. This not only reduces freight charges, but 
avoids any possible heating, should there be any delay in tran- 
sit, and plants are ready for setting.
