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



ROSA RUGOSA 



Ideally adapted for 

 forming well-nigh im- 

 penetrable hedges. By 

 severely pruning them 

 every year they may 

 be kept within any de- 

 sired limit of height, 

 besides blooming more 

 freely. 15 to 18 in.,

AMOOR RIVER PRIVET — One of the Best Because of Its Extreme Hardiness 



BARBERRY 

 Berberis Thunbergi (Japanese Barberry) — The 

 most generally planted shrub, very popular for 

 low, dense hedges. Its abundant, small light 

 green leaves in arching branches, and its wealth 

 of scarlet berries render it very attractive, es- 

 pecially in Autumn when the foliage takes on a 

 rich red tint. Extremely hardy, requires but little 

 pruning. Ornamental and graceful the year 

 around. For hedges set plants 12 inches apart.

New Red-Leaved Japanese Barberry — See Shrub 

 section of this catalog, page 34. 

 Box Barberry — A very dwarf, compact form of 

 Berberis Thunbergi, which it equals in ironclad 

 constitution. Like boxwood in its round dense- 

 ness and its adaptability to formal shearing. Es- 

 pecially valuable for edging beds in formal gar- 

 dening, or for any spot where a low hedge is 

 required. For edging, plant four inches apart; 

 for a low hedge, plant six to nine inches apart.

ELEAGNUS ANGUSTIFOLIA 

 (Russian Olive Hedging) 

 This variety, a native of Northern Asia, was, 

 until a few years ago, regarded as a very rare 

 variety of Ornamental Shrub. It, quite natural- 

 ly, is extremely hardy and appears to thrive in 

 very light, sandy soil, where most varieties of 

 Shrubs would almost surely fail. It is one of 

 our very best varieties for planting in close 

 proximity to the ocean. Covered with silvery 

 foliage, even when not producing its attractive 

 cranberry-like berries, it is an attractive variety. 

 Plants, 2 to 3 ft. high, doz., $5.00; 100, 05.00 

 Plants, 3 to 4 ft. high, doz., 7.50; 100, 50.00 



DWARF BOXWOOD 



Termed "the Antique" of the garden, since it 

 grows to rare old age, improving in shape and 

 outline as it grows older. Planting Boxwood is 

 like investing in good bonds — you cannot lose! 

 Buxus Suflruticosa — This is of exceedingly slow 

 growth, but becomes very compact and is most 

 attractive. Delights in a partially shaded situa- 

 tion. For edging, plant 3 to 4 inches apart. 

 Extra bushy plants, 4 to 6 in-, dozen, $3.50; 

 100, $25.00; 6 to 8 in., dozen, $5.00; 100, $40.00. 



ALTHEA or Rose of Sharon 

 Hibiscus syriacus — The adaptability of Althea as 

 a hedge plant is due to its erect, compact growth 

 and the uniform height of the plants. Especially 

 valuable because it blooms in August, when the 

 flowers cause a hedge of this to be a genuine de- 

 light to the eye. Particularly adapted to city 

 planting, since it seems to stand dust and neglect 

 better than most other shrubs. Separate colors 

 or mixed, 18 to 24 in., dozen, $2.00; 100, $15.00; 

 2 to 3 ft., dozen, $3.00; 100, $22.00. 



SPIRAEA VAN HOUTTEI 



Eminently suitable for forming fine hedges. A 

 more graceful object than a Spiraea hedge in full 

 bloom is difficult to find. The very decorative 

 foliage makes Spiraea Van Houttei a delight to 

 the eye throughout the growing season. 12 to 

 18 in., dozen, $2.00; lOO, $15.00. 18 to 24 in., 

 dozen, $3.00; lOO, $20.00; 2 to 3 ft., dozen, 

 $4.00; 100, $30.00. Illustrated on page 45. 



BERBERIS THUNBERGI 

 Makes a lovely, informal, low- 

 growing hedge.
