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 beau- 

 tiful, dark green, glossy foliage, its quick, strong and symmet- 

 rical growth, its freedom 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 Cali- 

 fornia 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 economical to buy, for 

 with them the years of tedious waiting for the hedge to grow 

 will be avoided. 



Our California Privet is not grown by the usual nurseryman's 

 method, but is as carefully propagated as other higher-priced 

 shrubs.
