ILEX 
Ilex verticillata. Winterberry. 8 ft. Spectacularly beautiful in fruit, 
which often covers the bush, remains well into the winter—bril' 
liant scarlet. HOWEVER, each plant has but one sex to its flow' 
ers. Only the female bears fruit, but a male must be near by—so 
never plant this species singly. A good proportion is one male to 
two female plants.

LIGUSTRUM - Privet 
There is No Substitute for the Popular “Trimmed Privet Hedge” 
Everybody knows what handsome hedges and screens this valu- 
able group of plants can make when properly planted and trimmed. 
They grow vigorously in almost any situation, even in fairly dense 
shade and places where the soil seems always dry and barren. 
The plants of the varieties Ibota, Regelianum, and Vulgare are 
frequently used as shrubs in borders of flowering shrubs and are very 
effective. 
Flowers are not usually conspicuous, being in very small white, 
lilacdike clusters. Privet also bear decorative black berries which 
persist into late fall and winter, creating a fine contrast when seen 
against the snow. 
fLigustrum amurense. Amur Privet. 12 ft. A tall growing, upright 
shrub with dark green, lustrous leaves. Perfectly hardy. This 
plant has been used for hedges to a tremendous extent in the past
