PRIVET — [Ligusirum] 
The shrub, is essential to Landscaping. The word “Ligustrum” refers to the en¬ 
tire 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 born in spring, and the 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 
practically every need.
