WHY A HEDGE? 



Fences are all right to keep the cows out of the corn, but tFiey arc distinctly 

 out of place on the home grounds. What you want between your grounds and 

 those of your neighbor is a hedge of Privet or Barberry. Not only does the hedge 

 look better than a fence but it is permanent. A fence rots or rusts away and 

 after a few years must be replaced. A licdge remains year after year and in- 

 creases in value and beauty with each succeeding season even if not aTtended to. 

 If a Privet Hedge is trimmed once or twice a year, it will grow dense clear to the 

 ground and make a tight barrier to all animals.

California Privet {Ligustrum ovalifoUum) 



The California Privet is undoubtedly the leading hedge plant, 

 except in the extreme north where it is likely to winter-kill in 

 extreme weather. The roots, however, may remain intact and 

 the tops will start again. Under ordinary conditions it is hardy, 

 nearly evergreen, with dense attractive-looking foliage. After 

 being planted for a time, a hedge of California Privet is almost 

 -Tipenetrable. Single plants may be trained and pruned to any 

 desired shape and either the globe or pyramidal-shaped plants create a very 

 handsome appearance when used as single specimens on the lawn or porch.
