LIGUSTRUM 
FINE family of shrubs deserving a great deal more popularity than it now has. Because the Privets are 
such important hedge plants, too many of us think of them only in that connection and lose sight of the 
fact that there are many varieties which, grown as specimens, are as desirable shrubs as their better adver¬ 
tised cousins. An important feature of this group is that they are not particular as to soil and will thrive where 
many plants would starve. In these days of a scarcity of manure this is a thought for the gardener to consider. 
Mostly natives of Asia and the Mediterranean region, they are, of course, not all hardy North but all do thrive 
throughout the South and some, like the beautiful L. lucidum, develop into glorious specimens furnishing not only 
pleasing flowers but great crops of unusually attractive fruit. 
Among the Privets will be found some of our most beautiful foliage plants, foliage so waxy and polished that 
it hardly seems possible that it can be real. 
Liguslrum japonicum 
Nepalense. An evergreen shrub with 5-inch 
leaves and quite large flowers in broad 
panicles in July and August. Not hardy 
North. 
Nobilis. Similar to Lucidum, except it is an 
upright grower. Very desirable for corners 
and other situations where a taller plant 
than Lucidum is required.

planting. 
Lucidum. The finest of all Ligustrums. 
Very bushy, compact-spreading, with rich, 
dark waxy leaves and panicles of white 
flowers followed by large bunches of black 
berries loved by the birds. It is almost 
indispensable for foundation plantings and 
is also fine for hedges and as individual 
specimens. Can be pruned to any desired 
size or shape or allowed to develop into a 
splendid small tree.
