A Hedge of California Privet 
California Privet. Thcbcst 
- of all har¬ 
dy hedge plants. The city of Roch¬ 
ester, N. Y., is one of the most 
beautiful in the world. On almost 
every lot California Privet hedges 
are planted to divide one lot from 
anotlier. This Privet hedge is also 
planted in front of most houses 
adjacent to the street. The Privet 
hedge is easily kept at any height 
desired. This hedge holds its fo¬ 
liage nearly all winter. It is almost 
an evergreen. 
California privet is used in place 
of wire and board fences as it not 
only makes a more desirable and 
beautiful fence, but is considerably 
cheaper per foot. One of the big 
advantages of planting this bush as 
a hedge is that it can be trimmed 
at any time of the year and can be shaped to any shape 
desired. Where broad hedges are desired two rows of bushes 
are usually set, these rows being planted one foot apart and 
the bushes being set one foot apart in each row. The bushes 
are not set opposite each other in the hedge but are alternate 
so that the bushes come six inches apart in the hedge. Where 
a hedge of ordinary width is desired, the bushes are set ten 
inches apart in a single row. In addition to planting for 
hedging purposes the California privet makes a very de¬ 
sirable shrub when set as a single specimen. 
Prices of California privet, heavy, two year, well 
branched, IS to 24 inches, 10 cents each, 75 cents per 10, 
$3.50 per 100, $30.00 per 1000; 2 to 3 ft., 15 cents each, 
$1.00 per 10, $4.50 per 100, $40.00 per 1000. 
Dwarf Barberry. ( B - Thunbergii). This is the 
■ very best hedge shrub for a low 
hedge 2 to 3 ft. in height. The foliage is brilliant green 
in summer, taking on the most glowing colors from early 
autumn until December, and after the leaves fall the branches 
are covered with crimson berries which hang until March 
or April. It is also a desirable shrub to plant against the 
foundation of a house or in front of other taller growing 
shrubs to take away the bare effect of the stems of the tall 
shrubs at the bottom. (See illustration on page 52.)
