LigUStrum (Privet for Hedging) 

 Ovalifolium. California Privet. Widely known 

 as a hedge plant. It is a vigorous grower every- 

 where, 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 J uly make it an ornamental shrub that is generally 

 useful. It is a rapid grower under all conditions, 

 has handsome, glossy foliage that lasts well into 

 winter and withstands any amount of trimming. 

 We have a very large stock of especially fine plants 

 that are splendidly rooted and not to be compared 

 with a great deal of the weak stuff offered by
