CALIFORNIA PRIVET. 



Of all the hardy shrubs in cultivation no 'other 

 is so valuable and so useful as the California Privet, 

 either for hedging, for use as a screen to " plant 

 out" buildings or other unsightly objects, for 

 massing or for planting as specimens upon the 

 lawn ; especially when trained to the standard or 

 globe form. It is almost an evergreen (holding 

 its foliage until Christmas) and during the whole 

 summer and autumn it is densely clothed with 

 smooth, glossy foliage of the most intense, deep, 

 rich green imaginable — much richer in color than 

 tree or bush Box. The Standards surpass in effec- 

 tiveness and rich color the popular Bay Tree, and 

 possess the untold advantage of being perfectly 

 hardy ; requiring no care or protection in winter. 

 The Globe Privets I offer are veritable balls of 

 richest green — so dense, a bird cannot enter them. 

 The demand for these two forms of trained Privet 

 is so great that I have grown several thousand of 

 them ; which I offer at less than half the price 

 those that are imported are sold for. Being accli- 

 mated they are very much better in every way.

SPECIMENS OF CALIFORNIA PRIVET 

 These are large bushy plants, which have been 

 frequently headed back but permitted to retain 

 their natural form. In addition to their rich 

 foliage, they are covered in late summer and 

 early autumn with pannicles of small, lace-like, 

 pure white flowers. They are of apecial value for 

 ng as screens, for massing and as single specimens upon the lawn.

CALIFORNIA PRIVET HEDGE. 



Although introduced, recommended and plant- 

 ed b}' me as a hedge plant in 1878, its beauty and 

 value were quickl}- recognized. Since then it has 

 grown in popularity so rapidly, that to-day it is 

 planted more largely in America by far than any 

 other plant for liedges — in fact more largely than 

 all other plants for this purpose. The demand for 

 it is so great that I carry a stock of over two hun- 

 dred and fift}^ thousand plants of it. If planted in 

 a single row, it should he planted eight inches 

 apart in the row, requiring three plants for every 

 two feet of hedge. If planted in double row, the 

 rows should be one foot apart, and the plants one 

 foot apart in each row, requiring two plants for ev- 

 ery foot of hedge to be planted. All the plants 

 except the smallest size quoted were cut to the ground when one year old and are composed of many 

 branches or stems, being very bushy. 



One year, 12 to 18 in., 50c. per doz. $2.50 per 100. Two years, 2 to 3 ft., $1.00 per doz. $4.50 per 

 100. Two years, 1 J to 2 ft., 75c. per doz. $8.50 per 100. Three years, 8 to 4 ft., $1.25 per doz. $6.00 

 per 100.

GOLDEN PRIVET. This is a new golden-leaved form of the California Privet, and is just as 

 hardy as the mother plant. It should not be confounded with the old varieties of Golden Privet as its 

 habit is much dwarfer and bushier and it retains its color perfectly throughput the summer. It is exceed- 

 ingly cheerful and attractive; its foliage being of a clear, bright, lemon-yello/v throughout the summer and 

 autumn. It is an invaluable variety for planting in connection with /the parent or orreen form and 

 with other shrubbery ; or for producing a low, dense hedge. I have duly small planta of it. Price, 

 from 2 in., pots, ea., 25c. ; doz., $2.50. 1 yr. plants, ea., 35c. ; doz., $3.51).
