Getting Up a Stock of the NEW IBOLIUN PRIVET in a Huny 



THESE are the days when hurry-up 

 methods are in order and it is 

 especially so within the realms of Hor- 

 ticulture. The Nurseryman who antici- 

 pates getting up a stock of named Eho- 

 dodendrons, for instance, and begin- 

 ning at the bottom, must realize that 

 he has a several years' investment be- 

 fore him, with a comparatively limited 

 demand in prospect. Not so with the 

 propagator of some of the quickly 

 grown hedge plants with an almost un- 

 limited quantity demand. 



/Hie accompanying illustration is 

 froiii a snapshot of the end of one of 

 our propagating blocks of the new 

 hardy hybrid privet, IBOLIUM. This 

 luxuriant growth is but one year old. 

 Its, height can be visualized by noting 

 the stake which appears in the picture, 

 which is three feet long, the bottom 

 edge resting on the ground. 



When we decided, a year ago, to 

 offer IBOLIUM Privet to the trade 

 this autumn our total stock included 

 but the original plant, some forty (40) 

 three-year-old plants and a few hun- 

 dred one-year-olds. The problem of 

 just how to work up a stand of prop- 

 agating wood with all possible haste 

 wasi before us. We succeeded in get- 

 ting from our available stock some two 

 thousand buds. These were put in a 

 section of a block of two-year-old 

 Amoor Privet, two to three buds to a 

 stem. These wintered well and the 



luxuriant growth you see in this illus- 

 tration resulted, having furnished us, 



during the first summer, not only a 

 quantity of wood for summer propaga- 



tion, but a big supply of material for 

 hard wood cuttings for setting direct 

 in the field another spring. 



IBOLIUM Privet grows with the 

 same freedom as California Privet, 

 both from hard and soft wood cuttings, 

 and makes, under similar conditions, 

 even more luxuriant growth and a 

 heavier stand of both one and two- 

 year-old plants. IBOLIUM Privet 

 very closely resembles California 

 Privet as to appearance and habit of 

 growth other than the disposition to 

 bush up a little more freely at the 

 bottom. When it is realized that IBO- 

 LIUM Privet is quite as hardy as 

 Ibota Privet, with all the advantages 

 of California Privet as a hedge plant, 

 it is easy to realize what an enormous 

 demand is sure to follow now that 

 IBOLIUM Privet is being introduced. 

 That IBOLIUM Privet is going to be 

 called for in enormous quantities is 

 indicated by the numerous inquiries 

 at our office for prices on thousand lots 

 from gardeners and private buyers 

 who have seemingly heard something 

 about the new privet through our in- 

 troductory advertisement in the trade 

 papers. 



We believe the accompanying illus- 

 tration and notes will be helpfully sug- 

 gestive to many who are going into 

 IBOLIUM Privet and desire to get up 

 a block of it for propagating purposes 

 as rapidly as possible.
