HARRISONS' NURSERIES, BERLIN, MD. 



Catalpa Bungei and Hedge of California Privet 



HEDGE PLANTS 



Many people do not realize the value of an attractive hedge and how it will 

 increase the worth of their grounds. The usual objection put forward by 

 those not familiar with Harrisons' prices is: "They cost too much." A look at 

 our prices will soon prove the fallacy of such a statement. 



Some of the desirable hedge plants are listed below and others (notably the 

 Arborvitaes) are given on page 20. A hedge of any of the selected plants Usted 

 here will add dollars to the value of your home and make its appearance more 

 charming. 



California Privet (Ligustrum ovalifoUum) 



The California Privet is undoubtedly the leading hedge plant, except in the 

 extreme north where it is likely to winter-kill in extreme weather. The roots, 

 however, may remain intact and the tops will start again. Under ordinary 

 conditions it is hardy, nearly evergreen, with dense attractive-looking foliage. 

 After being planted for a time, a hedge of California Privet is almost impene- 

 trable. Single plarts may be trained and pruned to any desired shape and 

 either the globe- or pyramidal-shaped plants create a very handsome appear- 

 ance when used as single specimens on the lawn or porch.
