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 sea¬ 
son. 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.
