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



HEDGE PLANTS 



(Continued) 



An important factor in 

 the evergrowing popularity 

 >f "live" fences is their economic- 

 f al maintenance and the fact that 

 they adapt themselves readily 

 to changing desires of their owners. 

 If a hedge grows too tall, it may be 

 cut back and trained to any of many 

 shapes (see below ) . If curiosity on the 

 part of the public becomes annoying, 

 let your hedges grow tall and enjoy 

 the privacy of most remote woods. 

 Nature will accommodate man, and 

 hedge plants are among the most 

 accommodating children of nature. 



PRIVETS — Continue;! 



Privet, because of its rapid growth, not only 

 gives us the ideal hedge plant, but, permitted 

 to grow in natural fashion, some of the varieties 

 become most decorative shrubs of pleasing habit 

 of growth. Most of the privets bear lovely ra- 

 cemes of flowers followed by ornamental berries. 

 Ligustrum regelianum offered below and illus- 

 trated alongside is a fine shrub of spreading 

 character and is extra hardy.
