HARRISONS’ NURSERIES 
Catalpa Bungei and Hedge of California Privet 
HEDGE PLANTS 
Many people do not realize the value of an attractive hedge and how it will 
increase the worth of their grounds. The usual objection put forward by 
those not familiar with Harrisons’ prices is: “They cost too much.” A look at 
our prices will soon prove the fallacy of such a statement. 
Some of the desirable hedge plants' are listed below and others (notably the 
Arborvitaes) are given on page 21. A hedge of any of the selected plants listed 
here will add dollars to the value of your home and make its appearance more 
charming. 
California Privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium) 
The California Privet is undoubtedly the leading hedge plant, except in the 
extreme north where it is likely to winter-kill in extreme weather. The roots, 
however, may remain intact and the tops will start again. Under ordinary 
conditions it is hardy, nearly evergreen, with dense attractive-looking foliage. 
After being planted for a time, a hedge of California Privet is almost impene¬ 
trable. Single plants may. be trained and pruned to any desired shape and 
either the globe- or pyramidal-shaped plants create a very handsome appear¬ 
ance when used as single specimens on the lawn or porch.
