AMUR RIVER PRIVET 
(LIGUSTRUM AMURENSE) 
The Southern, evergreen type. Just as hardy as the Cali- 
fornia Privet and more beautiful because it retains its glossy 
green foliage throughout the average Winter. A rapid, com- 
pact 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 background 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 
(See illustration.)
