HARDY NORTH AMOOR PRIVET 



Plant in single row eight inches apart. 



Has box-like leaves and forms a dense and 

 handsome hedge. Succeeds in the shade of 

 overhanging trees much better than California 

 Privet. Unfortunately, there are two tj-pes of 

 Amoor or Russian Privet; one of which is very 

 hardy while the other is no hardier than Cali- 

 fornia Privet. After much difficult}', we have 

 succeeded in growing a splendid supply of the 

 true "Hardy North."
