Hedge of California Privet furnished from our nurseries. The splendid, dense growth is due 

 to frequent shearings and the lower branches have been so well preserved by keeping the bot- 

 tom of the hedge broader than any other portion, so that the sunlight reaches even these lower 

 branches. To keep the bottom of a hedge broader than the top is necessary in all hedges where 

 the lower branches are to be preserved. — Patrick Canahan, Gardener. 



Ligustrum. Privet 



/% GROUP of ornamental shrubs, including, besides the California Privet, some of the most desirable 

 /-A plants. The Privets are not particular as to soil, and they grow rapidly in open places or beneath 

 jL \. 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. 



Ligustrum Amurense. Amoor Privet. (L). 

 More hardy than the California Privet. Erect 

 habit; small leaves, that are dark, lustrous green, 

 and remain until long after snow comes. On this 

 account, if for no other reason, they are desirable. 

 Fine for hedges, mass plantings and general use.

California Privet 



L. ovalifolium. (L). Widely known as a hedge 

 plant; it is a vigorous grower, endures the unnatural 

 conditions of cities, and is one of the best shrubs for 

 seaside planting. The half-evergreen, glossy foliage 

 makes it an ornamental shrub that is generally use- 

 ful. Not reliably hardy north of Boston.

L. Siberica. (M). A form of doubtful nomen- 

 clature, but one of the hardiest kinds. It is similar 

 in most respects to California Privet and useful in 

 much the same ways. We urge its more general 

 use in colder climates and places where an inexpen- 

 sive shrub is wanted to endure hardships.
