Hedge Plants 



LOVEH'S NURSERY 



H 



EDGE DLANTS 



Lovett's Nursery has long been 

 recognized as the leader in hedge 

 plant production. We are now 

 growing at Little Silver and in 

 southern Delaware, more hedge 

 plants than any other nursery in 

 this country. Do not, therefore, 

 let our low prices deceive you into 

 thinking that our stock is inferior in 

 any way. These prices are a direct 

 result of our economical production, 

 and refer in all cases to strictly first- 

 class plants, carefully and properly 

 grown in every respect. 



BERBERIS. Barberry 



LiGUSTRUM ovALiFOLiuM (California Privet) 



Berberis thunbergi. Japanese Barberry. Very 

 popular for a low, dense hedge, with its arch- 

 ing branches, slender and gracefully compact. 

 Carries a wealth of scarlet berries in Summer, 

 and takes on rich Autumnal shadings of red. 

 Very hardy, ornamental and shapely, requiring 

 but little pruning. For a hedge, set plants 

 12 inches apart.

B. thunbergi atropurpurea. Redleaf Japanese 

 Barberry. 4 to 5 ft. Develops into a splendid 

 and striking hedge, with its fiery red foliage 

 throughout the entire Summer and Fall. We 

 have the most brilliant plants of this variety that 

 have ever been seen. Will make a distinctive 

 and a "different" hedge.

B. thunbergi minor. Box Barberry. A very 

 dwarf, compact form of Berberis thunbergi, 

 which it equals in ironclad constitution. For 

 edging, plant 4 inches apart; for a low hedge, 

 plant 6 to 9 inches apart.

BUXUS. Boxwood 



Buxus suffruticosa. True dwarf Box. This is of 

 exceedingly slow growth, but becomes very com- 

 pact and is most attractive. Delights in a par- 

 tially shaded situation. For edging, plant 3 to 

 4 inches apart. Extra bushy plants.

LIGUSTRUM (PRIVET) 



(The best plant for hedges) 



Ligustrum, or Privet, is the supreme favorite 

 for hedge work, due to its supremacy in hardiness, 

 beauty and adaptability. Our sales of these well 

 known plants approximate six million every year, 

 larger than those of any other nurseryman. Our 

 reputation for splendid stock at low prices is re- 

 sponsible for our handling so great a quantity of 

 these hedge plants. 



Ligustrum amurense. Amur River North Privet. 

 Hardiest of all the Privet family, with handsome 

 olive-green foliage, forming a dense hedge. Best 

 of hedge plants for severe climates.

L. ibolium. Ibolium Privet. A cross between 



California Privet and Ibota. Very desirable for 

 Northern climates, where it has stood zero 

 temperature without injury. With us, it is 

 almost an evergreen, retaining its foliage until 

 after Christmas. Doz. 100 1000

L. ovalifolium. California Privet. The popular 

 hedge plant with glossy, deep green leaves. In- 

 troduced by us as a hedge plant in the early 

 seventies and now more largely planted for or- 

 namental hedges than any other shrub. Its 

 strong, quick, upright growth adapts it singu- 

 larly well for being grown as a barrier or to hide 

 unsightly objects. Here at Little Silver, New 

 Jersey, California Privet is very nearly ever- 

 green. Doz. 100 1000
