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,

 trimming into any desired shape.

 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

 grow will be avoided.

 as other higher-priced shrubs.
