CALIFORNIA PRIVET. 
Privet we consider the most popular of all hedge plants, and decidedly the finest and best of all for 
forming an ornamental hedge, its foliage being so abundant as to produce a wall of the deepest richest 
green. It can almost be called an. evergreen, as its foliage is not shed until late in the winter, and then 
only in an exposed position. We mention some of its merits : It is very hardy, easily and quickly pruned ; 
it will grow almost anywhere: can be kept down to 18 inches, or you can let it grow, if a screen is required, 
to 15 feet high: you may have it narrow or wide. 
Management. —As a general rule of guidance we offer the following brief hints on their management: 
After thoroughly working the soil of a strip at least 6 feet wide and as long as the hedge is to extend, open 
a trench through the middle of the strip, and with a careful person to hold and range the plants, let one or 
more assistants thoroughly pulverize and fill in the soil about the roots. Before setting, dip each plant in a 
thin puddle of mud and place evergreens from 15 to 18 inches apart in the row. Deciduous shrubs, including 
California. Privet, should be G to 9 inches apart.
