CREATE THAT ATMOSPHERE WHICH DISTINGUISHES A HOME PROM A HOUSE 



LIVE HEDGES FOR SHELTER AND BEAUTY 



MANKIND first: BOUght security behind thorny walls of living trees and shrubs such as now shelter 

 the villages of primitive natives the world over. As peoples ascended the ladder of civilization, stone 

 walls were pressed into service as being more enduring. But the evergrowing complexities of the 

 present age cause stone and iron as fence materials to be of prohibitive cost, and so the pendulum swings back. 



The home builder of today has at his disposal, for the purpose of creating hedges and fences, plants of 

 all kinds, from various parts of the world. The greatest hedge plant of the age is California Privet. The 

 founder of Lovett's, almost half a century ago, first used it. as such and is it now recognized as the hedge 

 plant "par ex( ellcnce" t hroughout the greater part of the country. 



We Specialize ill the production of various plants suitable for hedges. On our own farms here at Little 

 Silver and in Delaware, we grow Privet and Barberry by the hundreds of thousands. They are available 

 in various Bizes to suit different purses and we can fill orders to the amount of any reasonable number of car- 

 loads for landscape architects and others using them in quantities. To those requiring hedge plants in 

 larger than thousand lots we will, with pleasure, make Special quotations.
