CALIFORNIA PRIVET. 



ZW We call special attention to our two and three= 

 year=old plants. They are exceptionally bushy this 

 season and suitable to give immediate results. 



Of all ornamental hedge plants this is the most popular, and 

 more of it is planted than all others combined. lis foliage is a rich 

 dark green, and is nearly evergreen, remaining on the plant until 

 midwinter. It is of free growth, and succeeds under the most 

 adverse conditions, such as under dense shade of tn-r-, where other 

 plants would not exist. 



To form a dense hedge from the base up the plants should be 

 severely pruned the first two seasons. Plant the one-year-old size 

 8 inches apart in the row, the larger sizes 10 to 12 inches apart.
