 nal panicles of fleecy, pure white flowers, some- 

 times a foot long, and nearly as broad at base,

 profuse bloomer, of immense flowers, and thrives 

 in all soils. 12 to 18 in., each, 15c.; doz., $1.50;

Ovalifolium {California Privef). — The popular 

 hedge plant, for which purpose it is one of the ver>' 

 best by reason of its rapid growth, elegant form and 

 handsome foliage. Of all the hardy shrubs there 

 are none more useful, for it excels whether for 

 hedging, for massing, or for planting singly as 

 specimens, especially in the latter case when trained 

 to the standard or globe form. (See third page of 

 cover for these forms of Privet.) Its habit and 

 growth are strong, bushy and uprigh; foliage oval, 

 deep, rich green, bright and glossy, very dense and 

 almost evergreen. When planted singly it bears 

 in July innumerable panicles of small, white, lilac- 

 like flowers. It is a very ornamental and attractive 

 bush, entirely hardy, of easy culture, and thrives 

 everywhere, even by the seashore in defiance of 

 salt air and sea breezes. 2 to 3 ft., each, 15c.; 

 doz., $1.50; 3 to 4 ft., each, 25c.; doz., $2.50; 4 to
