HEDGE PLANTS 
A hedge is ornamental, as well as it affords protection, 
costing less than metal, wood, or stone fences; requires 
little attention other than some shearing, which is less 
expensive than the painting and upkeep of other fences. 
We especially recommend to you the Evergreen Amur 
River Privet. However, there are other varieties of 
plant material which can be used as a hedge. 
Planting—For a dense, compact hedge, we recom- 
mend 6 inches apart in a single row and pruning back 
within 2 or 3 inches of the ground at time of planting. 
Amur River Privet 
(LIGUSTRUM AMURENSE) 
The Southern, evergreen type. Just as hardy as the 
California Privet and more beautiful because it retains 
its glossy green foliage throughout the average Winter. 
A rapid, compact grower, making a dense hedge in a 
short time. May be kept sheared to almost any height 
from 1 to 8 feet. It may also be used as a screen or back- 
ground where, if permitted to grow freely, it affords a 
profusion of white flowers in May and large quantities of 
shiny, blue berries which hang on throughout Winter.
