LIGUSTRUM AMURENSE.— A r m o o r 

 River Privet. — Our hedges of this desirable 

 evergreen have for years past been noted 

 for their perfect shape and appearance. It 

 far surpasses the variety cultivated in 

 Northern sections under the name of Cali- 

 fornia Privet (Ligustrum Ovalifolium), 

 which assumes a dingy green tint in win- 

 ter,- whereas the Armoor Privet retains 

 its brighter green color throughout the en- 

 tire year and are now to be found in every 

 section of the Southern States. It has 

 stood a cold of 20 degrees below zero in 

 western North Carolina, and is equally 

 successful in south Florida, thus with- 

 standing both extremes of heat and cold. 

 It is therefore the most desirable of all 

 broad leaved evergreens where a tall hedge 

 is desired. Growth very rapid; adapts 



Lespedeza or Japan Clover the Best Forage for Southern Planting.
