When one considers the extended 

 range over which Ibolium Privet will 

 thrive as compared with California 

 Privet, it Is not to be wondered at 

 that a very active interest in it is 

 already asserting itself, and no doubt 

 as soon as sufficient stock for propa- 

 gating purposes can be disseminated 

 its propagation will be taken up on an 

 immense scale. The practical propa- 

 gator will be interested to know that 

 Ibolium Privet can be propagated 

 with the same facility that has made 

 the producing of California Privet so 

 easy and inexpensive. It comes with 

 equal freedom from either hard or 

 soft-wood cuttings. 



Another important characteristic of 

 Ibolium Privet of value to the nurseiT- 



No. 1 



man is its can't-be-killed character, 

 standing without seeming complaint 

 all the hardships and exposures the 

 most .careless of nurserymen im- 

 posed upon nursery stock. There is 

 seemingly no season of the year when 

 it cannot be dug up and transplanted, 

 even during its most active season of 

 growth, in fact, as an all-round plant, 

 it is sure to be the nurseryman's fa- 

 vorite and "best seller." 



The experiment stations of the 

 United States and Canada have plants 

 of Ibolium Privet growing in their ex- 

 periment grounds, and will be able to 

 give information as to its character 

 which will be of great local value. To 

 those who wish to get up a stock right 

 away for propagating purposes, the 

 originators make the statement that

it is unquestionably hardy wherever 

 Ibota Privet will thrive. 



The accompanying illustrations in- 

 dicate the lusty character of the plant 

 and its excellent appearance at all 

 times. 



No. 1 illustrates a plant photo- 

 graphed as the new growth was jusf 

 emerging this past spring, and shows 

 how free from winter injury it stood 

 the severe winter of 1919-20, practi- 

 I ally every bud including the term- 

 inals coming into growth without the 

 slightest injury whatsoever under 

 winter conditions which played havoc 

 with California Privet in this section, 

 in many cases killing it quite to the 

 ground. 



.\ report recently reached us from 

 the Arnold Arboretum stating that 

 Ibolium F*rivet lived through the past 

 winter without injury. In other 

 words, there is no doubt that this new
