California Privet 



The One Best Hedge Plant, Combining Beauty, 

 Hardiness and Efficiency 



California Privet has long been recognized as the one 

 very best plant for Hedge purposes, as it is remarkable 

 for its beautiful, dark-green, glossy foliage, its quick, 

 strong and symmetrical growth, its fredom from insects 

 and scale, and its ability to withstand pruning and 

 trimming into any desired shape. 



For many years we have made a specialty of growing 

 California Privet for Hedges, and our stock cannot be 

 surpassed anywhere. It is strong, thrifty and in the 

 best of shape for transplanting. Each one a specimen 

 plant. We have it in all sizes from one-year-old plants 

 to large, vigorous bushes which can be used with telling 

 effect in the formation of an immediate hedge. These 

 large plants are the most economcal to buy, for with 

 them the years of tedious waiting for the hedge to 

 grow will be avoided.

 nurseryman's method, but is as carefully propagated 

 as other higher-priced shrubs.
