HEDGE PLANTS. 



CAI.IFORNIA PRIVET. 



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

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

 rich dark green, and is nearly evergree-B, remaining on the 

 plant until midwinter. It is of free growth, and succeeds under 

 the most adverse conditions, such as under dense shade of trees, 

 where other plants would not exist. 



The most advantageous manner of planting is in double rows, 

 the two rows being about 8 inches apart. The two smaller 

 sizes of plants here offered should be set 10 to 12 inches apart 

 in the row — alternating the plants — while the larger sizes may 

 be set from 12 to 15 inches apart. In order to secure a dense 

 hedge from the base up, the plants should be severely pruned 

 the first two seasons. 



15 to 18 inches high, $2.50 per 100 ; $20.00 per 1000.

 ing extremely thick right from the base, and requires but little 

 pruning to keep it in shape. The leaves are small, light green, 

 and towards fall assume the rich, brilliant colors, the fruit or 

 berries becoming scarlet.

 fensive hedge that will turn cattle; should be planted in double 

 rows 6 to 9 inches apart in the row.
