A hedge about a place marks that place at once as the home of a careful and prosperous 

 owner, and best of all it need not cost much. 



California or Japan Privet (ugustrum ovaiifoimm) 



STRONG PLANTS 



Nearly evergreen; ft-ee of growth, and succeeds under the most adverse conditions, such as 

 under dense shade of trees where other plants would not exist. The best manner of planting is 

 in double rows, the two rows being about 8 inches apart. The smallest size plants here offered 

 should be set 10 to 12 inches apart in the row — alternating the plants — while the larger size may 

 be set 12 to 15 inches apart. In order to secure a dense hedge from the base up, the plants should 

 be severely pruned the first two seasons. 



One-year-old, 18 to 24 inches high..... 



Two-year-old, 24 to 36 inches high 



Three-year-old, extra heavy specimens
