THE COUNTRY’S GREATEST FORMAL HEDGE 
Hardiest of all Russian Privets, and the only Privet to 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. 10 25 100
