THE NEW 



HARDY HYBRID PRIVET 



Resem >les California Privet in Habit with this 

 added advantage: 



It's as HARDY as IBOTA Privet and will succeed 

 wherever IBOTA thrives. 



Name, IBOLIUM, coined thus: IBO from Ibota and LIUM from Ovalifolium.

lltolll Yl Privet is the product of 

 crossing the California Privet (See 

 parent )with Ibota, the hardy Chinese 

 Privet. 



It is similar in general character to 

 California Privet being perhaps some- 

 what more robust in habit of growth. 

 It is inclined to bush more freely 

 from the base than California Privet, 

 a decided advantage. 



It can be propagated with the same 

 ease as California Privet either from 

 hardwood or softwood cuttings and is 

 quite able to withstand the abuse in- 

 cident to the ordinary handling of a 

 hedge plant, both by the nurseryman 

 and the planter, without serious inury. 



Its great claim for the public's 

 consideration as compared with Cali- 

 fornia Privet is its hardiness taking 

 in this respect from the pollen parent, 

 Ibota, having proven to be perfectly 

 hardy wherever Ibota Privet is hardy. 

 This gives this new hardy hybrid a 

 very extended range of usefulness. 



The extreme test as to hardiness 

 was proven out in the winter of 1917- 

 1S when IBOLIUM Privet stood the 

 test without the slightest winter in- 

 jury side by side with the California 

 Privet which was not only killed to 

 the ground but in many cases died 

 root and branch.

heport of Committee ' Plant 



Exhibits. Jno. S. tverr, 



Chairman. 



Your committee is pleased to 

 report upon Ibolium Privet, orig- 

 inated and now introduced by The 

 Elm City Nursery Company, 

 Woodmont Nurseries, Inc., New 

 Haven, Conn. 



Iholium Privet is the result of 

 cross breeding between the Ibota 

 Privet and California Privet and 

 combines the hardiness of the 

 Ibota with the fine foliage and 

 growth characteristics of the Cal- 

 ifornia Privet. Evidently Ibolium 

 is quite an acquisition to the 

 privets for northern sections. 



Your committee readily com- 

 mends this new introduction as 

 very meritorious.

IBOLIUM Privet— The above cut is 

 from photo of a plant of IBOLIUM Privet, 

 three years old. Softwood cuttings have 

 been taken from this plant ttvice this 

 summer. This is the identical plant 

 which iras shipped to Chicago for ex- 

 hibition purposes, was knocking about 

 for at least three weeks and on its re- 

 = turn to the Nursery appeared to be little — 



the worse for wear, proving the remark- 

 able vitality of IBOLIUM Privet. 



IBOL IJIVl PriVCt * s i^eal ^ or hardy hedge purposes, for training into specimens, gen- 



eral decoration as a tub plant, also in its natural form wherever a 

 tall, dignified shrub is desired. It also thrives well in the shade. It produces freely large 

 panicles of pure white flowers followed by clusters of glossy black fruits making the whole 

 shrub very ornamental. The usefulness of IBOLIUM Privet is almost without limit.
