TWO RAKE HEDGE PLANTS IN GOLDEN GATE PARK, SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. MYRTTJS LUMA (EUGENIA 
APICULATA) IN BACKGROUND AND LONICERA NITIDA IN FOREGROUND. 
The Myrtus lurm is a handsome evergreen from Chile, and although it grows to 20 feet in 
its native habitat it lends itself admirably to trimming, and its small, glossy green leaves and 
dainty small white flowers combined with its compact growth make it an admirable hedge plant 
in the cool climate of San Francisco. It has been grown in England, but kills back at Kew. It 
deserves a wider trial in the Pacific coastal region. 
Lonicera nitida is a dainty evergreen bush honeysuckle growing to 6 feet in height, remind- 
ing one of a privet, but having much more style than most of the privets. Its polished dark-green 
leaves, small fragrant creamy white flowers, and ornamental blue purple fruits, and the fact that 
it is hardy in Chicago and in the Arnold Arboretum, from which institution it has been distributed 
to some extent, make it a very promising shrub for general use. It grows easily from cuttings.
