MOON'S    DECIDUOUS    SHRUBS        k  GVrod?fu"S 
Morrisville,  Pennsylvania 
LIGUSTRUM.  PRIVET 
A GROUP  of  ornamental  shrubs,  including,  besides  the  California  Privet,  some  most  desirable  plants. 
The  Privets  are  not  particular  as  to  soil,  and  they  grow  rapidly  in  open  places  or  beneath  the 
shade  of  trees.  In  shrubbery  borders  and  masses,  their  good  qualities  can  be  appreciated,  as  well 
as  in  the  hedges  by  which  they  are  best  known.  They  are  seldom  attacked  by  insects;  withstand 
shearing,  and  can  be  kept  at  any  height  or  clipped  into  artificial  shapes. 
Ligustrum  Amurense.  Amoor  Privet.  (L) 
More  hardy  than  the  California  Privet.  Erect 
habit;  small  leaves,  that  are  dark,  lustrous  green, 
and  remain  until  long  after  snow  comes.  On  this 
account,  if  for  no  other  reason,  they  would  be 
desirable.  Fine  for  hedges,  mass  plantings  and 
general  use.

habit.  One  of  the  hardiest  kinds.  Drops  its

berries.    Good  for  shrubberies.

Ligustrum  Ibota 
L.  Ibota.  (M)  June  and  July.  Arching  habit; 
narrow  leaves  and  fragrant  white  flower  clusters. 
Reputed  as  being  the  hardiest  of  all  Privets.  Also 
a  good  hedge  plant  and  a  splendid  shrub  for  decora- 
tive purposes  on  any  lawn.  Foliage  turns  a  dark 
red  in  the  Autumn.

Ligu Strum  Regelianum 
var.  Regelianum.  (S)  Similar  to  the  above; 
branches  more  dense  and  twiggy;  they  droop 
gracefully  and  give  this  variety  a  distinctly  at- 
tractive appearance.  In  Autumn  the  foliage  turns 
a  bright  red.  This  plant  is  unexcelled  for  shrubbery 
borders  and  masses,  park  plantings  and  hedges.

California  Privet 
California  Privet  (Ligustrum  ovalif olium)  (L) . 
Widely  known  as  a  hedge  plant;  it  is  a  vigorous 
grower  anywhere,  endures  the  unnatural  conditions 
of  cities,  and  is  one  of  the  best  shrubs  for  seaside 
planting.  The  half-evergreen,  glossy  foliage  and 
pure  white  flowers  in  July  make  it  an  ornamental 
shrub  that  is  generally  useful.  Not  reliably  hardy 
north  of  Boston.    See  foot  note.

L.  Siberica.  (M)  A  form  of  doubtful  nomen- 
clature, but  one  of  the  hardiest  kinds.  It  is  similar, 
in  most  respects,  to  the  others,  and  useful  in  much 
the  same  ways.  We  urge  its  more  general  use  in 
colder  climates  and  places  where  an  inexpensive 
shrub  is  wanted  to  endure  hardships.

Lonicera.  Honeysuckle 
A  varied  genus,  that  includes  vines  and  shrubs. 
For  the  vines,  see  page  66.  The  bush  varieties  are 
in  demand  for  shrubbery  groups  and  borders.  They 
are  hardy  and  grow  easily.  Their  fragrant  flowers 
are  admired  in  Spring,  but  another  attraction  is  the 
brilliant  fruit  that  follows  in  the  Summer  and  Fall. 
Lonicera  bella  albida.  (M)  Bears  a  pro- 
fusion of  white  flowers,  followed|.by  scarlet  fruits
