placed. Suspensa is a weeping shrub, showering 

 to the very ground where the tips of Suspensa's 

 branches will take root, producing more shower- 

 ing sprays, and as Suspensa grows wide and full, 

 all spaces will be filled, while Fortunei, which 

 grows to ten feet high and more, will tower above 

 her. Another uncommon shrub too little known 

 is a new Privet (Ligustrum) regelianum. Its 

 foliage is small and fine, oval and glistening. This 

 privet is peculiarly adapted for slidy, crumbly bank 

 planting, as it roots deeply and its weeping, fern- 

 like branches sweep the ground, keeping shady 

 and moist what otherwise would be a dry position. 

 This Privet regelianum is a perfect treasure as 

 a ground cover or base planting, hedges, etc., and 

 I know it is infinitely superior to California Privet. 

 Still another excellent privet, as yet, I think, also 

 too little known, is Ibota. 



These privets may or may not be sheared or 

 lightly sheared. Both are truly hardy, and the 

 Regelianum is unsurpassed, as it grows very fast 

 and has a wide, spready habit ; it should therefore 

 be allowed ample space for development.
