Amur River Privet 3 on F ras 
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 hack to within a few 
inches from the ground to make the hedge 
bush out low. Shear twice during the sum- 
mer to even up the new growth. I have 
well rooted plants, the best for hedges.
