These are the well known California Privet grown 

 to Olobe or Tree form by careful pruning. They are 

 so compact a bird cannot enter them and are so 

 densely clothed with smooth, glossy foliage they are 

 more intense and richer in color than Tree Box. 

 Most effective and of the greatest value in formal 

 gardening. The Standards surpass in effectiveness 

 and rich color the popular Bay Tree and possess 

 the untold advantage of being perfectly hardy.
