PSIVET IN NOBTH DAKOTA. Would you please tell me whether privet is hardy as a hedge plant here, in North Dakota, and which privet would be the best in this climate f R. O. Ligustrum ovalifolium, California privet, is the variety mostly grown and is about the only one advertised for hedging purposes. It is, however, not to be recommended for any state where the temperature frequently falls below zero. The hardiest privets are L. Ibota, or Japanese privet, and L. Amu- rense, or Amoor river privet. The last named has successfully withstood a temperature of 20 degrees below zero, and if any variety will succeed' with you it should be this one. C. W. AMHEBST, MASS.
