HEDGE PLANTS— CALIFORNIA PRIVET 



(LIGUSTRUM OVALIFOLIUM) 



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

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

 green. 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 

 grrow almost anyvs^here; 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.

Rhode Island, April 8, 1905. 

 Your stock received in first-class shape and I am more than pleased with the California 



Yours truly, E. B. Parmenter. 



MANAGEMENT.— As a general rule of guidance, we offer the following brief hints on their manage- 

 ment: 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 of the 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 but 9 inches apart.
