HEDGE PLANTS 
The hedge is more than its own excuse for being; it justifies its exis¬ 
tence in various ways. Around the small yard of a cottage or the formal 
terrace of a city home, the Amur River Privet, or Arborvitae can be 
trimmed and kept in scale with the size of the lawn. If there is an ill- 
kept lot adjoining, or the sun room is near the street, then let your Amur 
hedge grow rankly. 
A hedge may serve to shield from view the chicken yard or the family 
wash, or suggest to the children that the playhouse yard must end 
where a neighbor’s lawn begins. 
Amur River Privet (L. Amurensis) Most popular and best hedge for the 
South. Very beautiful evergreen, dense in growth, dark in one year. 
Very hardy and well adapted to general planting. Exceedingly beau¬ 
tiful and permits shearing to any height or shape.

California Privet—This beautiful hedge plant has a larger leaf than Amur 
Privet, and is very beautiful in summer and fall, lending itself ad¬ 
mirably to shearing. However, we do not consider it as useful for 
planting in the South as Amur River because it loses some of its 
foliage in the winter, whereas, Amur River Privet will look pretty 
the year round.
