52 LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N.J.— HARDY HEDGE PLANTS 



HEDGES FOR BEAUTY, UTILITY AND ENDURANCE 



PLANTS SUITABLE FOR HEDGES AND WINDBREAKS- 

 WALLS OF LIVING GREEN! 



During- late years, old-fashioned fences have gone decidedly out of fashion. The first cost 

 of setting out a "live fence," is, in most cases, not nearly so great as that of erecting a cumber- 

 some barrier of dead wood; and the upkeep is much smaller. "Dead" fences need repairing and 

 painting-, while "live" ones don't! All, good reasons for setting out more hedge plants. 



LIGUSTRUM— The Privets 



OVALIFOLIUM. California Privet.— 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 an}^ other 

 shrub. Its strong, quick, upright growth adapts 

 it singularly well for being grown as a barrier, 

 or to hide unsightly objects. 



Doz. 100 1,000 



12 to 18 inches $0.60 $3.50 $30.00 



18 to 24 inches 80 5.00 40.00 



2 to 3 feet 1.50 8.00 75.00 



GLOBE OR BALL PRIVET.— The Cali- 

 fornia Privet, grown to form a dense solid ball 

 of foliage. 12 inches in diameter, $1.00; 18 

 inches in diameter, $1.50; 24 inches in diameter, 

 $2.00. Large specimens, from $3.50 to $5.00 

 each. 



OVALIFOLIUM AUREUM. Golden Pri- 

 vet. — Color of foliage, a livel}^ lemon 3^ellow. 

 12 inches, 35c.; 18 inches, 50c. each. 



HARDY NORTH AMOOR PRIVET 



Plant in single row eight inches apart. 



Has box-like leaves, and forms a dense and 

 handsome hedge. Succeeds in the shade of 

 overhanging trees much better than does Cali- 

 fornia Privet. Has numerous panicles of white 

 flowers during June: in the autumn the 

 branches are loaded with conspicuous, steel 

 blue berries. Similar to L. ibota, but hardier.

IBOLIUM PRIVET (New).— A cross be- 

 tween California Privet and Ibota, having the 

 attractiveness of California Privet and the har- 

 diness of Ibota. Very desirable for New Eng- 

 land climate. 12 to 18 inches, doz., $2.00; 100, 

 $12.00: 1,000, $100.00. 



REGELIANUM.— A low spreading shrub; 

 white flowers; black berries. 12 to 18 inches, 

 dozen. $2.50: 100, $17.50; 1,000, $150.00.
