LIGUSTRUM SINENSE. 



Ligustrum Sinense forms a good sub- 

 ject for the back of a shrubbery, an iso- 

 lated lawn specimen, or a bold group in 

 the wilder parts of the garden, for it is 

 a vigorous growing shrub, which blossoms 

 freely and possesses the additional ad- 

 vantage of bearing ornamental fruit at 

 a later period. Many of the privets are 

 too stiff in habit to be called reaUy orna- 

 mental plants, but the one under notice 

 is exempt from that criticism, for the 

 habit cannot be objected to at all. Un- 

 der certain conditions, it assumes the 

 proportions of a small tree, with a trunk 

 nine inches or a foot in diameter, but 

 more frequently it adopts the habit of a 

 large-headed bush, sixteen to twenty feet 

 in height. The leaves are oval, but 

 smaller and thinner in texture than those 

 of the oval-leaved privet. The flowers are 

 borne profusely in elegant panicles, three 

 to four inches long, and are quite white. 

 The flowering time, according to a writer 

 in the Gardeners' Magazine (English), 

 is July. About September, the bushes 

 are again conspicuous by reason of the 

 tiny black fruits which quite cover the 

 branches. As is the case with the major- 

 ity of privets, this shrub can be grown 

 without trouble even in poor soil. . It, 

 however, like most other plants, assumes
