O  O  N'S  SHR-UB 
Kerria,  or  Corchorus 
Shrubs  with  tender,  bright  green  branches,  that 
are  ornamental  even  when  divested  of  leaves. 
They  grow  in  almost  any  soil,  and  do  well  in  open 
or  shaded  places.  All  varieties  have  attractive 
foliage,  and  are  invaluable  at  the  front  of  shrub- 
beries or  in  groups  by  themselves.  Orange-yellow 
flowers  are  borne  abundantly  in  May  and  sparingly 
through  the  Summer.

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.
