(Ligustrum Amurense) 
THE COUNTRY’S GREATEST FORMAL HEDGE 
Hardiest of all Russian Privets, and the only Privet te use for hedge 
planting in the North. Thick, compact grower, with dense, shiny green leaves | 
that remain on the plant until late in the season. Frequent shearing gives a | 
very formal effect, and you can maintain a hedge of any desired height. 
Plant 12 inches apart in the hedge row, setting them deeply so that the 
lower branches come below the surface of the ground, then trim back the 
tops one-third to one-half to develop a dense, solid hedge from the ground up.
