58 LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. — SHRUBS AND HEDGE PLANTS 



DAPHNE. Garland Flower 



HARDY EVERGREEN SHRUBS 



(Concluded) 



Appreciation of these native American shrubs 

 (including Azaleas, Kalmias and Rhododendrons, 

 described on page 57) has increased by leaps and 

 bounds during the last decade. Their value consists 

 chiefly in their hardiness, their ready adaptability to 



many soils and sections, and their ability to "shift LEUCOTHOE. Drooping Andromeda 



for themselves," once firmly established. 



CNEORUM — A prostrate, evergreen shrub of 

 spreading habit, with small, pink, delightfully fra- 

 grant flowers in May and, under favorable condi- 

 tions, throughout summer and fall. Specimen 

 plants, each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 



ANDROMEDA 



FLORIBUNDA — Early in April it bears a pro- 

 fusion of delicate white flowers which, because of 

 their faint resemblance, have earned this species the 

 name " Lily-of-the-Valley shrub." Splendid for 

 foundation plantings, rock gardens, etc. Heavy 

 specimens, 12 to 15 in. high, $2.50 each; $25.00 

 per dozen. 



BUXUS. Boxwood 



SEMPERVIRENS — The ever popular Box- 

 wood. Of medium height, frequently grown in 

 globe or pyramidal shape, Slow-growing but most 

 enduring. 12 to 18 in., $1.50; 18 to 24 in., $2.50 

 each. Larger sizes, in various matched shapes, at 

 special prices, gladly quoted on request. 



BUXUS SUFFRUTICOSA — See Hedge 

 Plants. We supply an extra sturdy, extra heavily 

 rooted plant that finds no superior anywhere. 



CATESBAEI — Long, dark green leaves that 

 turn to an attractive bronze in winter. Beautiful, 

 gracefully arched branches with pendant, bell- 

 shaped flowers in spring; an ideal plant for massing 

 in shady places or in the foreground of Rhododen- 

 dron plantings. One of the comparatively few 

 shrubs that actually do well in the shade ! Choice 

 specimens, each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00. 



PACHYSANDRA 



TERMINALIS. 6 to 9 in. — The deservedly 

 popular Japanese Spurge, especially valuable as a 

 cover plant, under trees and other shady places. It 

 completely clothes the ground with attractively 

 bright, evergreen foliage, accompanied by white 

 flowers during May-June. Each, 25c; dozen, 

 $2.50; 100, $18.00. Special quotation will be made 

 by letter on large quantities. 



Plant More HEDGES, fewer wooden Fences ! 



Here are plants that form living Walls of lovely 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 cumbersome 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 quick, upright growth adapts it singularly well for 



OVALIFOLIUM. California Privet - The being grown aS a barrier or to hide unsi g ht *y ob i ects -
