Buckthorn Hedge—Rhamnus Cathartica 
PRIVET [Ligustrum] 
Privets are our best hedge plants, and make richly green 
foliage backgrounds against foundation walls. Almost ever¬ 
green, of dense compact habit; useful in shaded places. To 
plant a single row, set them 6, 8 or 12 inches apart; for a 
double row, about 18 inches apart each way and alternately. 
Cut them back severely when planting. Hedges should be 
sheared two or three times during the season. More and more, 
the various types are being used as regular shrubs in groups 
to obtain the benefit of their persistent green foliage, and for 
the rather charming flower-panicles, and fragrance.
