HERE, CALIFORNIA PRIVET, INB^'ORMAL PLANTINGS OP EVERGREENS AND ATTRACTIVE LAWNS COMBINE TO 

 CREATE THAT ATMOSPHERE WHICH DISTINGUISHES A HOME PROM A HOUSE 



LIVE HEDGES FOR SHELTER AND BEAUTY 



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 u-ed it as 

 such and it is now recognized as the hedge plant "par excellence" throughout the greater part of the 

 country. 



We specialize in 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 sizes to suit different purses and we can fill orders to the amount of 

 any reasonable number of carloads 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. 



Plants Suitable for Hedges — High or Low 

 LIGUSTRUM— The Privets 



A family of plants which, due to its rapid 

 growth and ornamental foliage, is ideally 

 adapted to forming dense hedges. All varieties' 

 of privet stand shearing well and are readily 

 trained to various shapes. 



(Plant in single row eight inches apart.) 



CALIFORNIA PRIVET 

 (Ligustrum Ovalifolium) 



This is the most popular of all hedge plants. 

 It was introduced as a hedge plant by Lovett's 

 Nursery in the early seventies, and its strong, 

 quick, upright growth and glossy green leaves 

 immediately won praise and admiration from 

 the public. It now is more largely planted for 

 ornamental hedges than any other shrub, and 

 perhaps it is interesting to know 

 that Lovett's grows more California 

 Privet than any other firm in the 

 world. It is particularly well 

 adapted for use as a barrier or to 

 hide unsightly objects. 



California privet trimmed to globe 

 and pyramidal forms will be found 

 offered on page 28, as will be found the 

 best of all the golden-leaved privets.
