HEDGE PLANTS—CALIFORNIA PRIVET. 
(ligustrum ovalifolium.) 
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 ex¬ 
posed 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 as¬ 
sistants 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 but 9 inches apart.

Siberian Arbor Vitae. —This valuable variety has 
dense compact foliage of pure green color, even in 
winter. It grows more slowly than the American, 
and needs less trimmings. 
Spruce, Norway.- —A lofty elegant tree of perfect 
pyramidal habit, remarkably elegant and rich; as 
it gets age has fine graceful, pendulous branches; 
is exceedingly picturesque and beautiful; very 
popular, and deservedly so, and should be largely 
planted. One of the best evergreens for hedges if 
properly trimmed yearly.
