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. 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 orna- 

 mental hedges than any other shrub. Its strong, 

 quick, upright growth adapts it singularly well 

 for being grown as a barrier or to hide unsightly 

 objects. Here at Little Silver, New Jersey, Cali- 

 fornia Privet is very nearly evergreen.

 fornia Privet and Ibota. Very desirable for 

 Northern climates, where it has stood zero tem- 

 perature without injury. With us, it is almost 

 an evergreen, retaining its foliage until after 

 Christmas.
