PRIVET (Ligustrum) 



Most adaptable and most beautiful of the hedge 

 plants, small wonder that Privet is also the most 

 popular. We have for many years been regarded 

 as headquarters for all kinds of these valuable 

 plants, and our annual sales are above six million, 

 or considerable larger than those of our nearest 

 competitor. Our reputation for splendid stock at 

 lowest prices is responsible for the magnitude of 

 our business in these plants. 



Amur River North Privet (L. amurense). 15 ft. 

 Hardiest of the family, with handsome olive 

 green foliage. Best hedge plant for severe cli- 



mates. Doz. 100 1000

California Privet (L. ovalifoliuin). 10 ft. The 

 popular hedge plant with glossy, deep green 

 leaves, introduced by us as a hedge plant in the 

 early seventies, and now more largely planted 

 for ornamental 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

Ibolium Privet (L. ibolium). 10 ft. A cross be- 

 tween California and Ibota Privet, with the 

 beauty of the former and the hardiness of the 

 latter. A good, all-around hedge plant.

TRUEHEDGE COLUMNBERRY 



(B. Thunbergi Pluriflora Erecta) 



(U. S. Plant Patent Xo. 110) 

 Many competent nurserj'men consider the 

 Truehedge Columnberry to be the most valu- 

 able horticultural discovers'- of this decade. 

 Brought out only two years ago, its worth 

 was immediately realized, and the plants are 

 selling at premium prices in nursery circles. 

 The plant resembles Barberry only in the 

 individual leaves. It is infinitely more com- 

 pact and leafy than the older sort, and lends 

 itself willingly to formal shearing, of which 

 one treatment will be sufficient, since the plant 

 itself is quite formal in appearance. It, too, 

 is much more erect in growth than is Japanese 

 Barberry, which sometimes becomes sprawling 

 if not carefull}- and frequently trimmed. Also, 

 its hardiness and adaptability are greater 

 than those of its parent, and altogether it is 

 much more desirable in every way. Be the 

 first to try this sensational hedge plant in 

 your neigborhood, for you won't be the last.
