Hedge of Berberis thunbergi (Japanese Barberry) 



Hedge Plants 



Lovett's Nursery has long been recognized as the leader in hedge plant production. We are now grow- 

 ing at Little Silver and in southern Delaware, more hedge plants than any other nursery in this country. 

 Do not, therefore, let our low prices deceive you into thinking that our stock is inferior in any way. These 

 prices are a direct result of our economical production, and refer in all cases to strictly first-class 'plants, 

 carefully and properly grown in every respect. 



BARBERRY 



Japanese Barberry (Berberis thunbergi). Very 

 popular for a low, dense hedge, with its arching 

 branches, slender and gracefully compact. Car- 

 ries a wealth of scarlet berries in Summer, and 

 takes on rich Autumnal shadings of red. Very 

 hardy, ornamental and shapely, requiring but 

 little pruning. For a hedge, set plants 12 in. apart. 

 Transplanted bushy plants.

Box Barberry (Berberis thunbergi minor). A very 



dwarf, compact form of Berberis thunbergi, which 

 it equals in ironclad constitution. For edging, 

 plant 4 in. apart; for a low hedge, plant 6 to 9 in. 

 apart.

Redleaf Japanese Barberry (Berberis thunbergi 

 atropurpurea) . See under "Shrubs." 



BOXWOOD 



Dwarf Boxwood (Buxus suffruticosa). This is of 

 exceedingly slow growth, but becomes very com- 

 pact and is most attractive. Delights in a par- 

 tially shaded situation. For edging, plant 3 to 

 4 in. apart. Extra bushy plants.

PRIVET 



We have been specialists in Privet production for 

 many years, since we regard it as the best all-around 

 plant for hedge purposes. Privet stands alone in 

 hardine'ss, adaptability, and beauty the year round. 



California Privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium) . 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 any other shrub. Its 

 strong, quick, upright growth adapts it singularly 

 well for being grown as a barrier or to hide un- 

 sightly objects. Here at Little Silver, New Jersey, 

 California Privet is very nearly evergreen. As we 

 write this catalog, in the last week of the year, 

 we see the Privet hedges about our office as dense 

 in foliage as they were in September.

Write for quotations covering large, bushy

 ing of Privet hedges, mailed upon request. 



Ibolium Privet (Ligustrum ibolium). A cross be- 

 tween California Privet and Ibota. Very desirable 

 for Northern climates, where it has stood zero 

 temperatures without injury. With us, it is almost 

 an evergreen, retaining its foliage until after 

 Christmas. Doz. 100 1000
