PRIVETS 
(Lisrustrum) 
The shrub is essential to Landscaping, The word “Ligustrum” refers to the 
entire family of Privets, which is by far the largest and best group of Broadleaf Ever¬ 
greens. Varieties differ widely in size, shape, habit of growth, and color. With the 
addition of very few plants such as Conifers, Flowering Deciduous Shrubs and the 
Grasses, the Privets make a complete planting. 
Fragrant white flowers are 
home in spring, and black 
berries follow, remaining on 
the plants during winter, in 
medium and large clusters like 
wild grapes. 
This group cannot be too 
extensively planted and is in 
such variety that can fill prac¬ 
tically every need.
