CALIFORNIA PRIVET 



Millions of California Privet plants in our nursery are ready for hedges. They will be planted into 

 many hundreds of miles of hedge in the next few months all over the country. Many thousand homes of 

 Hundreds of °^^ customers in cities and country everywhere will be made more beautiful, more 



restful, more valuable and better examples of what they should be. A strong and swell- 



MileS of Hedge ^^S movement for homes that are homes and not mere barns, is what causes the demand 



1 for this immense number of plants. Individuals here and there only could not use 



a fraction as many. 



Wonderful results can be had in fields, with line fences, and lanes and roads bordered on both sides 

 with them. Large firms find that it pays in beauty and utility to enclose with hedges their grounds 

 Tnrrpfl«;pd ^t)out shops, mills, stations, offices, etc. Real estate men divide and sub-divide their property 



_ with hedges. It aids the imagination of their customers to picture the perfect place of later 



Values °^* ^Vhether in country or town, California Privet helps greatly to complete the homestead, 



———^— and makes for satisfaction and contentment in the daily life of those who dwell there. Park, 



cemetery, walk, drive, church grounds — all can use California Privet to very great advantage. 



As a hedge, it can be trimmed into any shape, — square, round or ridged, low or high. Single bushes 

 will make pyramids, globes, or any odd and dififerent shapes desired. The cost for planting and up-keep 

 is low, — less than the purchase price and repairs of a good fence of the same height. A Privet fence 

 is practical and efficient. It will not use much space, for neither the branches nor the roots spread to any 

 extent. California Privet is the most practically valuable hedge plant that grows. You will make no mis- 

 take in planting it, even to the extent of miles of hedge. Here is a brief description: 



California Privet is a very fast-growing shrub, 8 to 12 feet tall when untrimmed. It has dark, oily, 

 green, long-oval leaves about 2 inches long, and bears fragrant, white blossoms in clusters, like small lilac 

 npcrrintin-n Ao'^^'^i'S- The growth of branches is compact, thick, dense. Plants can be transplanted readily. 

 P Even though naturally tall, it will stand shearing to any extent at any time in the year, and 



of Privet ^^^ ^^ trimmed into hundreds of shapes. In our latitude it is almost entirely evergreen. 

 — — ^— Farther north the leaves fall very late, but the thickly interlaced branches are still sightly 

 and attractive. No degree of cold measured in North America will kill California Privet, and it will thrive 

 in any locality and in any soil. We have seen most perfect and beautiful hedges along the Northern Pacific 

 Railroad near the Continental Divide, in Montana, at an elevation of nearly 6,000 feet; while at Ocean City, 

 Maryland, seven miles from here, our plants have formed many faultless hedges within reach of the very 

 spray of the ocean. 



To plant California Privet, thoroughly work a strip about 2 feet wide. Plow or dig a trench through the 

 middle of this strip. Then set the plants about 6 inches apart in the trench and fill in with fine top soil. 

 Dip the roots of each plant in a mud puddle before setting.

Just What Privet Hedges Will Do for You 



(From a local newspaper.) 

 The old man stepped off the forenoon train, looked around the station, over the flower bed and hedge, 

 across to the shaded yard of the Ardell house, and started up the main street of the little town. A young man 

 was coming down the street.
