Ligustrum  •  Privet 
A  group  of  ornamental  shrubs,  including,  besides  the  California  Privet,  some  most  desirable  plants. 
The  Privets  are  not  particular  as  to  soil,  and  they  grow  rapidly  in  open  places  or  beneath  the  shade 
of  trees.  In  shrubbery  borders  and  masses  their  good  qualities  can  be  appreciated  as  well  as  in  the 
hedges  by  which  they  are  best  known.  They  are  seldom  attacked  by  insects  ;  withstand  shearing  and 
can  be  kept  at  any  height  or  clipped  into  artificial  shapes.

MORRISVILLE,  PENNSYVANIA 
California  Privet  (Ligustrum  ovalifolium.  L) 
Widely  known  as  a  hedging  plant ;  it  is  a  vigor- 
ous grower  anywhere,  endures  the  unnatural  con- 
ditions of  cities  and  is  one  of  the  best  shrubs  for 
seaside  planting.  The  half-evergreen,  glossy  foli- 
age and  pure  white  flowers  in  July  make  it  an 
ornamental  shrub  that  is  generally  useful.  Not 
reliably  hardy  north  of  Boston.
