PRIVET HEDGES 
PRIVET HEDGES Make Living Walls of Green 
The best live fence is a hedge. It is a living growing wall of beauty 
that never needs to be painted. Along the front or side of the lot, 
where a dense barrier is desirable, plant a hedge. The hedge also has 
a distinct value in decorative planting. Along walks, in the garden 
along paths and around beds or any place where space is at a 
premium, the hedge is an ideal planting. 
AMUR RIVER (Evergreen Privet). Southern variety, of erect, 
compact habit, with small, dark green leaves. Forms a beautiful 
dense hedge quicker than other varieties, closely resembling 
Boxwood. It is easily kept, and remains evergreen the year 
around. Strong grower. Plant 6 in. apart. We have the new 
seedling type, the most compact and most beautiful of all. This 
is the finest hedge plant for the South. 
CALIFORNIA. Most popular hedge until replaced by the New 
Evergreen Amur River, which we recommend as more desirable. 
Plant 6 in. apart. 
Amur River Privet 
There’s a difference between Waynesboro grown Privet plants 
and the ordinary plants. The type we grow is bushy, heavy rooted, 
the kind which makes a dense hedge quickly. 
Note— We also recommend for hedges, Hemlocks and Hollies, 
which make permanent hedges, can be kept sheared to almost any 
height and shape. See descriptions under Evergreens. 
How to Plant a Hedge 
Planting —Make a trench about 15 inches wide and deep, so there is sufficient 
space for the roots without bending. Fill the trench with the best dirt you have 
and use plenty of well rotted manure. The latter should be thoroughly in¬ 
corporated with the soil. Pack the dirt well around the roots, as this will insure 
a good growth. Give sufficient water until well established. The tops of the 
plant should be severely cut back. Trim the hedge slightly “A” shaped, that 
is, narrower at the top than at the bottom. Otherwise the sunlight will not 
reach the lower limbs and the hedge becomes open at the bottom.
