THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
313 
$100 for a Name 
Can you think of a good common name for this new dwarf Privet—something that 
will convey in a word or two the idea of its dwarf, compact, low-growing character— 
such as is visualized in the name of “Tom Thumb” Arbor-vitae and “Box” Bar¬ 
berry ! 
We announced on the back cover of our “Fall Price List” that we would give 
fifty dollars ($50.00) for a name which, in our opinion, best describes this Privet. 
Many excellent suggestions have been received but we haven’t yet just what we 
want. As an additional incentive, therefore, we have raised the amount of the prize 
to one hundred dollars ($100.) cash. Persons who have already sent in names can 
mail us further suggestions. The only restriction is that all names eligible for the 
prize must reach us by January 1, 1924. 
Read carefully the description of this remarkable little Privet below: 
NEW DWARF PRIVET 
(Ligustrum nana compacta) 
Pills an especial need for an easily 
grown, low-priced plant suitable for low 
hedges and borders. It stands shearing 
very well and can be used for a decora¬ 
tive plant in tubs, pots or porch boxes. 
Its foliage is rich, dark green and of ex¬ 
treme hardiness. Its compact and low- 
growing habits are illustrated in the 
photograph above. 
The Ligustrum nana compacta orig¬ 
inated in Europe. It came to this coun¬ 
try several years ago in a lot of Ligus¬ 
trum and its unusual characteristics 
were immediately noticed. It has been 
under constant observation and has 
demonstrated that its habits are unques¬ 
tionably fixed. 
It can be successfully grown in the 
same region as the Amur River Privet 
(the true hardy Ligustrum Amureuse) 
—most of the United States and consid¬ 
erable of Canada. 
Visiting nurserymen have remarked 
on the Unique and desirable habit of 
growth and have predicted great popu¬ 
larity for this little plant. It was intro¬ 
duced to the trade this fall and has al¬ 
ready made many friends. That it will 
find a real place in American Horticul¬ 
ture is admitted by all who have seen it. 
Limited quantities only are available 
for spring 1924, but our confidence is 
such that we are propagating all we pos¬ 
sibly can for the future.
