Privet in Habit 

 with this added advantage: — 



It's as HARDY as IBOTA Privet and will

Name, IBOLIUM, coined thusi—IBO from Ibota and LIUM from Ovalifolium 



REGISTRATION 



Society of American Florists 

 Aprils, 1919. 



IHOLIUM Privet is the product of 

 crossing the California Privet (Seed 

 parent) with Ibota, the hardy Chinese 

 I 'rivet. 



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 I'rivet, a de- 

 cided advantage. 



It can be propagated with the same 

 case as California Privet either from 

 hardwood or softwood cuttings and is 

 (luite able to withstand the abuse in- 

 cident to the ordinary handling of a 

 hedjje plant, both by the Nurseryman 

 and the planter, without serious in- 

 jury. 



Its great claim for the public's con- 

 sideration as compared with Califor- 

 nia Privet is its hardineaa, 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 1017- 

 IS, when IBOLIUM Privet stood the 

 tost without the slightest winter in- 

 jury side by side with the California 

 I'rivet which was not only killed to 

 the ground, but in many cases died 

 root and branch.

Report of Committee on Plant 

 Exhibits. 



Jiio. S. Kerr, Chairman. 



committee is pleased to 

 upon IBOLIUM Privet, 



Your 

 report 



originated and now^ introduced by 

 The Elm City Nursery Company, 

 Woodmont Nurseries, Inc., New 

 Haven, Conu. 



IBOLIUM 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 

 California Privet. Evidently 

 IBOLIUM is quite an acquisition 

 to the privets for northern sec- 

 tions. 



Your committee readily com- 

 mends this new introduction as 

 very meritorious.

IBOLIUM Privet is ideal for hardy hedge purposes, for training into specimens, general 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 mak- 

 ing the whole shrub very ornamental. The- usefulness of IBOLIUM Privet is almost without limit.
