PRIVET HEDGES 
Make Living Walls of 
Green 
The best live fence is a hedge. 
It is a living growing wall of 
beauty that never needs to be 
painted. Along the front or 
side of the lot, where a dense 
barrier is desirable, plant a 
hedge. The hedge also has a 
distinct value in decorative 
planting. Along walks, in the 
garden along paths and around 
beds or any place where space 
is at a premium, the hedge is 
an ideal planting. 
Planting —Make a trench 
about 15 inches wide and deep, 
so there is sufficient space for 
the roots without bending. Fill the trench 
with the best dirt you have and use 
plenty of well rotted manure. The latter 
should be thoroughly incorporated with 
the soil. Pack the dirt well around the 
roots, as this will insure a good growth. 
Give sufficient water until well estab¬ 
lished. The tops of the plant should 
be severely cut back. Trim the hedge 
slightly “A” shaped, that is, narrower at 
the top than at the bottom. Otherwise 
the sunlight will not reach the lower 
limbs and the hedge becomes open at 
the bottom. 
AMUR RIVER (Evergreen Privet). 
Southern variety, of erect, compact 
habit, with small, dark green leaves. 
Forms a beautiful dense hedge quicker 
than other varieties, closely resembling 
Boxwood. It is easily kept, and remains 
evergreen the year around. Strong 
grower. Plant 6 in. apart. We have the 
new seedling type, the most compact 
and most beautiful of all. This is the 
finest hedge plant for the South. 
CALIFORNIA. Most popular hedge 
until replaced by the New Evergreen 
Amur River, which we recommend as 
more desirable. Plant 6 in. apart. 
There’s a difference between Waynes¬ 
boro grown Privet plants and the ordinary 
plants. The type we grow is bushy, heavy 
rooted, the kind which makes a dense 
hedge quickly. 
Note —We also recommend for hedges, 
Hemlocks and Hollies, which make per¬ 
manent hedges, can be kept sheared to 
almost any height and shape. See descrip¬ 
tions under Evergreens.
