Ligustrum (Privet for Hedging) 
Ovalifolium. California Privet. Widely known 
as a hedge plant. It is a vigorous grower every¬ 
where, endures the unnatural condition of cities 
and is one of the best shrubs for hedge planting. The 
half-evergreen, glossy foliage and pure white flowers 
in July make it an ornamental shrub that is generally 
useful. It is a rapid grower under all conditions, 
has handsome, glossy foliage that lasts well into 
winter and withstands any amount of trimming. 
We have a very large stock of especially fine plants 
that are splendidly rooted and not to be compared 
with a great deal of the weak stuff offered by 
agents. If you are intending to plant a hedge, let
