T rivet for hedging 
Plant 10 to 12 in. apart. Prune back to within 4 to 6 in. 
of the ground to make them branch low and thickly. The sec¬ 
ond spring, if not sufficiently thick, they may again be pruned 
back a little higher. After that prune to keep the hedge the 
height and width desired, usually about three times a year. Avoid 
severe pruning after the middle of August.

A rapid growing Privet of upright habit, taking the place of 
California as it is reliably hardy here. Very fragrant small white 
flowers like tiny lilacs in late May, followed by black berries; 
seldom blooms when pruned as a hedge.
