The Elm City Nursery Co., New Haven, Conn. 
Dedge plants* 
THE very general usefulness of suitable hedges for both ornament and 
defense is now everywhere appreciated. The result of this is that a 
general demand has arisen for the most suitable materials for the 
purpose. At our nurseries we have been getting up a very extensive stock 
for this purpose which we offer below. 
California privet (JUgustmm OvaltfoUuiru) 
This shrub is now in universal demand as a hedge plant. It will grow 
■everywhere, even in quite a shady location, in a crowded city atmosphere or 
on the seashore where . it is occasionally bathed with salt spray, about as 
well as under ordinary conditions. The leaves are bright glossy green and 
almost evergreen. Transplants without loss and can be trimmed into any- 
desired shape, kept as low as one foot or grown to a height of twenty feet. 
It would be hard, to find a more useful plant. We have an immense stock 
of it, anticipating a continued demand. "How to Plant a Privet Hedge" is 
a special circular we send out. Ask for it.
