HIBISCUS  Syriacus.  Altheas.  Strong-grow- 
ing shrubs  that  flower  abundantly  on  their

LIGUSTRUM  ovalifolium.  California  Privet. 
The  most  frequently  planted  of  all  hedge 
plants,  because  it  is  a  rapid  grower  under  all 
conditions,  a  dense  symmetrical  plant  in 
itself  that  withstands  shearing  well.  The 
foliage  is  always  bright  and  glossy,  and  lasts 
well  on  in  the  winter.  Unfortunately  it  is  not 
reliably  hardy  north  of  Boston.    Our  plants 
Ligustrum  ovalifolium,  continued. 
are  all  low-branched  and  bushy.  The  one- 
year  size  should  be  set  10  inches  apart  and 
the  two-year  size  12  inches,  to  make  a  thick 
hedge  that  will  gi\  e  immediate  effect.  See 
page  56,  and  illustration  above,  showing  what  a 
vigorous  and  bushy  growth  our  Privet  makes.
