 Remove the unsightly fence, 

 value of your property by planting a California* 

 Privet hedge. It will do almost as well on 

 poor soil as on good, in all situations and un 

 der all conditions. 



It is a vigorous grower, with leaves of a goofi 

 rich shade of green, almost an evergreen, thts 

 leaves (in the latitude of Philadelphia) remain- 

 ing on the branches until almost Christmas. 



Insects never attack it, and It never grows 

 dull, but holds its beautiful green foliage 

 throughout the season. 



It can be planted in a single row, plants 4 to 

 6 inches apart, but I recommend for a more 

 compact hedge to plant a double row, plants 

 6 Inches apart, 3 Inches off the line, In this 

 manner :
