 shrub more showy than this favorite 

 Hydrangea, whose branches are bent

 ind sometimes green. A vigorous 

 grower in nearly all soils, and hardy 

 in most parts of the I'nited States.

LIGUSTRUM OVALIFOLIUM 



California I'rivet. — Widely known as 

 a hedge plant. It is a vigorous grow- 

 er anywhere, endures the unnatural 

 condition of cities and is one of the 

 best shrubs for hedge planting. The 

 half evergreen, glossy foliage and 

 pure white flowers in July make it an 

 ornamental shrub that is generally 

 useful. This plant is so universally 

 known and so generally used for 

 hedges that a description of it is 

 scarcely necessary. It is a rapid 

 grower under all conditions, has 

 handsome, glossy foliage that lasts 

 well into winter and withstands any amount of trim- 

 ming. We have a very large stock of especially tine 

 plants that are splendidly rooted and not to be com- 

 pared with a great deal of the weak stuff offered l)y 

 agents. If you are intending to plant a hedge I so- 

 licit your order and guarante.: satisfaction.
