Amur River Privet Amonsst a1 
es, 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 8 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.

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, al- 
lowing only 4 inches of previous year’s 
growth to remain on the hedge. My 
plants have strong roots, short tops, spe- 
cial hedge-grade. 6-12 inch and 12-18 
inch. Prices, see page 11. 
= Sheared from 
Russian Mulberry feiesnnine 
just like Privets, the Russian Mulberry 
makes a very nice hedge. For this pur- 
pose plant 6 or 8 inches apart in the row, 
or plant in double rows like Privel. Prices 
of the seedlings, healthy, well rooted 
stock, and well up to grades, see page 11.
