HEDGE PLANTS 



CALIFORNIA PRIVET CLigustrum Ovalif olium. ) 



Of all ornamental hedge plants this is the most popular, and more of it is planted than all others combined. Its foliage is a rich dark green, and is 

 nearly evergreen, remaining on the plant until mid- winter. It is of free growth, and succeeds under the most adverse conditions, such as under dense 

 shade of trees, where other plants would not exist. , ~, -, u v. 



The most advantageous 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 sizes may be set 12 to 15 inches apart. In order to secure a dense hedge from the 

 base lip, the plants should be severely pruned the first two seasons. Plants 18 to 24 inches. $3.00 per lOO, $22.00 per 1,000. Plants 2 to 3 feet. 

 $S.OO per lOO, $40.00 per 1,000. 3 to 4 feet, $6.50 per 100, $6O.0O per 1,000.
