Amur River Privet 
Amongst all shearted hedges Amur 
River Privet stands far out in the 
lead. Its extreme hardiness is only one of 
the advantages Amur River Privet offers: 
a clean, healthy, shining green foliage, a 
dense growth that responds wonderfully 
to shearing are also found in this Privet. 
I recommend planting either in a single 
row 6 to 8 inches apart, or in a double 
row for a very broad hedge, the rows 84 
to 10 inches apart, the plants in the rows 
8 inches apart, and standing alternately. 
Right after planting cut them back to 
within a few inches from the ground to 
make the hedge bush out low. Shear 
twice during the summer to even up the 
new growth. I have well rooted plants, 
the best for hedges:

Golden Privet 
River Privet, however, the leaves in a 
sunny location are of a beautiful golden 
yellow color, highly attractive. Individual 
shrubs, sheared round to ball forms can 
also be furnished at $1.25 each, 2 to 3 ft. 
size, for planting as single specimens in 
groups of Evergreens. For hedges:

Russian Olive—Silver Leaf 
Silvery-gray foliage and twigs, which 
makes a hedge of these plants very at¬ 
tractive. Plant 8 inches apart in the row, 
and shear the plants right after planting 
to 3 inches from the ground to make them 
bush out low. Will make a nice 4 ft. 
hedge, or for a tall screen plant 12 inches 
apart. Shear during the summer once or 
twice to even up the new growth, and cut 
the hedge back every spring, allowing 
only 4 inches of previous year’s growth 
to remain on the hedge. My plants have 
strong roots, short tops, special hedge- 
grade: 6-12 inch and 12-18 inch. Prices 
see page 21.
