PRIVET 
(Iiigrustrum) 
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. Most kinds make 
extra good, very tall background shrubs, 
untrimmed.
