shaded places. Has attractive foliage and orange-yellow flowers 
in May. A very valuable shrub to use in front of other shrubs 
and in combinations with the red-barked dogwood and other plants 
for winter effects. Not entirely hardy, however, north of Xew 
York City, thus must not be planted in exposed places.

LIGUSTRUM: PRIVET 
An excellent group of plants that include many hardy 
as well as highly ornamental varieties. The privets 
do well on poor soil, or in shaded places. They are best 
known by their value as a hedge plant though when 
planted in masses their superb foliage is very much ap¬ 
preciated. 
Ligustrum Amurensis (Amoor Privet), 8 feet. 
A hardy, erect variety, with dark green foliage which hangs on 
well into the winter. Evergreen in the southern states. Has erect 
clusters of white flowers in June followed later by bluish-black 
berries. One of the very best plants for hedges. 
2X to 3 feet (Hedges), 25c. 3 to 4 feet (Hedges), 35c. 
Ligustrum Ibota (Japanese Privet), 6 to 8 feet. 
A very hardy privet, probably the hardiest of the privets. 
Has slightly drooping habit, narrow dark green leaves, and racemes 
of white flowers, followed by small grayish-blue berries. Foliage 
turns purple in color toward winter. A very good hedge plant, 
and also useful on the lawn.

Lycium Chinense (Chinese Box Thorn), 6 feet.

for it has long trailing branches 8 to 10 feet long. Covered in 
late summer with brilliant red berries that hang on nearly all winter.
