A Plea for Walls of Living Green 



As the country becomes more thickly populated and crowded conditions confront the suburbanite, 

 there arises within every home owner's heart the desire for greater privacy. How to attain this cher- 

 ished ideal, at small cost, is a problem confronting thousands. The solution is found in that splendid 

 plant called Privet. 



Delightfullv ornamental almost ten months of the year, with attractive, deep-green, glossy leaves 

 and grac^ul clusters of white flowers. Privet makes a most ramd growth, growing on an average two 

 feet a vear. For dwarf hedges of informal growth we suggest Barberry. On our own farms, here at 

 Little Silver and in Delaware we grow both Barberry and Privet by the hundreds of thousands. Privet 

 is offered on page .50.
