California  Privet  Hedges.    For  prices  see  below. 
THERE  is  nothing  quite  so  ettective  for  lawn  boundaries  and  other  property  divisions  as  hedges.  They 
do  not  rot  away  and  require  paint,  as  fences  do;  instead,  they  will  grow  more  dense  and  increase 
in  effectiveness  and  beauty  as  they  get  older.  There  are  numerous  varieties  that  may  be  used  for 
these  purposes;  space  does  not  allow  us  to  go  fully  into  their  different  merits,  so  we  confine  ourselves  here 
to  a  few  of  the  best  and  most  generally  used  kinds,  while  others  will  be  found  in  their  respective  places 
elsewhere  throughout  this  catalogue. 
CALIFORNIA  PRIVET  ^Ligustrum  ovalifo- 
lium,  also  page  49) .  Never  has  a  hedge  plant  proven 
itself  more  desirable  than  this  Privet,  used  in  thou- 
sands of  hedges  from  Massachusetts  southward. 
Its  bright,  glossy  leaves  and  ability  to  withstand 
shearing  are  features  that  make  it  so  attractive. 
It  grows  almost  equally  as  well  in  the  city  as  it  does 
in  the  country,  and  it  thrives  beside  the  ocean  as 
it  does  inland.  There  are  few  plants  that  will 
endure  partial  shade  and  impoverished  soils  so  well, 
though  it  appreciates  better  conditions. 
We  have  100,000  strong,  heavy  plants,  that 
will  make  hedges  quickly.

IBOTA  PRIVET  (Ligustrum  Ibota,  page  49). 
This  is  a  hardier  form  than  the  above,  with 
stouter  branches.  It  grows  under  just  as  wide  a 
range  of  conditions,  and  makes  a  hedge  equally  as 
serviceable  as  any  other  hedge  plant,  but  is  "diff  erent 
and  distinctive."

REGEL'S  PRIVET  (Ligustrum  Ibota,  var. 
Regelianum,  page  49).  Here  is  a  plant  that 
makes  good,  attractive  hedges,  either  sheared  or

SIBERIAN   PRIVET   (Ligustrum  Siberica, 
page  49).  Any  plant  that  comes  from  Siberia  we 
expect  to  be  hardy,  and  this  variety  is  no  exception. 
It  is  similar  to  the  other  kinds,  and  makes  equally 
as  good  hedges,  but  is  less  expensive.  100  lOOO
