PRIVET. See Ligustrum. 



PRUNUS maritima. Beach Plum. Darwin mentions natural species of plums 

 "growing on the most distinct geological formations." Here is offered the biggest fruit 

 native to the geological formation having the driest and most sterile soil. There are 

 thousands of people picking the Beach Plum along the shores of Long Island and 

 New Jersey who do not know that it is native on dry, sandy soils in the middle of 

 the Island, or note the great variation of sweet, sour, bitter, little, yellow, red, purple 

 and black. Burbank has produced many new and valuable Plums and has used the 

 Beach Plum. Several people on Long Island should start breeding up the Beach Plum. 

 We will pay them for grafts of extra good wild plants. Plant a hundred of these and 

 grow your own as has Edwin Foster, Central Park, Long Island. They make round 

 bushes, 6-8 ft. high; a solid bank of white in May; beautiful, drought-resisting foliage 

 all Summer. There is no reason why they would not make a good hedge. Nature 

 uses Beach Plum, Bayberry, Beach Grass, Virginia Creeper, Pitch Pine, Holly and 

 Black Jack Oak to hold the drifting sand. 



1^-2 ft. high 40c. each, $2.50 per 10, $20.00 per 100 



PHOTINIA. CHINESE CHRISTMAS BERRY. 

 Long Island is an all year residence region. Come to the nursery and select berries 

 and evergreens to mike your place an all year beauty spot.
