THE HEDGE PLANTS 
Evergreen hedges are not only objects of beauty, but they also serve a useful 
purpose, often taking the place of fences, and when plantd with taste make hand¬ 
some borders. The Monterey Cypress makes an excellent windbreak for orchard 
and vineyard protection, especially if backed by a row of Blue Gum—Eucalyptus 
globulus. 
Box, Dwarf. These beautiful compact shrubs 
are very suitable for low hedge or borders. 
The foliage is of a pleasing, bright, lus¬ 
trous green color. 
California Privet. Highly prized as an orna¬ 
mental hedge plant. It is a vigorous 
grower with rich green leaves; very hardy; 
not particular as to soil or climate. With 
occasional pruning it will develop into a 
beautiful, compact hedge.

Euonymus japonicus. (Evergreen Euony¬ 
mus.) Japan. A handsome evergreen 
shrub of dense, upright habit, leaves dark

Ligustrum. The Evergreen Privets. Orna¬ 
mental shrubs or small trees with shining 
green leaves and small whitish flowers in 
terminal panicles, followed in the fall by 
black round berries remaining on the plant 
all winter. They adapt themselves to al¬ 
most any situation, doing as well in the 
shade as in the sun. They are valuable for 
hedges, single specimens and for grouping. 
Laurestinus. A very pretty and effective 
hedge plant. It blooms profusely during 
the winter season and at all times pre¬ 
sents a bright green appearance. 
California Privet. 
Monterey Cypress. Beautiful hedges are 
grown from this native evergreen tree. It 
adapts itself either as a tall windbreak, 
or may be kept as a low hedge by fre¬ 
quent pruning. 
Roses. What can be more beautiful than 
a hedge of roses? In the selection of 
varieties for this purpose it is important 
to have good growers that carry their 
foliage well, and that bloom well. The fol¬ 
lowing are recommended as good for 
hedge: 
Red. Agrippina, Baby Rambler, Gruss an 
Teplitz. 
Pink. La France.
