LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 



Hedges give the necessary finish and privacy to one's property — they frame the picture. 



For Utility and Beauty 



A LIVING fence — one made from growing plants, attractive with their green leaves, 

 formal trained or arched branches, colored foliage or bright berries — is surely 

 " more pleasing than the still, rigid, mechanical effect obtained by the similar use 

 of wood or metal. A lawn hedge is permanent — once planted, only occasional pruning or 

 shearing is required. It is better to round the top than to shear it perfectly flat. 



There is no other line of improvement that can be put upon a property that will 

 increase its value or beautify its appearance more. For hedges, a variety of plants may 

 be used, including not only the privets and barberries, but flowering shrubs like Altheas, 

 Spireas, Fragrant Bush Honeysuckle, Mock Orange, Evergreens, in fact any of the 

 compact growing shrubs. 



California Privet, first brought into prominence as a hedge plant by the founder 

 of this Nursery, is undoubtedly the finest and most popular of all varieties. 



We specialize in the production of privet and barberry, growing hundreds of 

 thousands of these popular plants in various sizes. For landscape architects and others 

 requiring large quantities we will be pleased to make special quotations. 



Spirea Van Houttei makes a colorful ornamental hedge and is especially adapted for dividing 

 the property lines and occasionally around the garden or lawn. Offered on page 47.
