CALIFORNIA PRIVET. 



Privet we consider the most popular of all hedge plants, and decidedij- the finest and best of all for 

 forming an ornamental hedge, its foliage being so abundant as to produce a wall of the deepest richest 

 g-reen. It can almost be called an evergreen, as its foliage is not shed until late in the winter, and then 

 only in an exposed position. We mention some of its merits : It is very hardy, easily and quickly pruned ; 

 it will grow almost anywhere ; can be kept down to 18 inches, or you can let it grow, if a screen is required, 

 to 15 feet high ; you may have it narrow or wide. 



Management. — As a general rule of guidance we ofCer the following brief hints on their management : 

 After thoroughly working the soil of a strip at least 6 feet wide and as long as the hedge is to extend, open 

 a trench through the middle of the strip, and with a careful person to hold and range the plants, let one or 

 more assistants thoroughly pulverize and fill in the soil about the roots. Before setting, dip each plant in a 

 thin puddle of mud and place evergreens from 15 to 18 inches apart in the row. Deciduous shrubs, including 

 California Privet, should be G to 9 inches apart.
