ORNAMENTAL SHRUBS AND HEDGE PLANTS, continued 
HYDRANGEA HORTENSIS. French Hydrangea. 
Large-leaved, deciduous shrub with large, showy 
pink, blue or white flowers throughout the sum- 
mer months. Likes partial shade. 
HYPERICUM, SUNGOLD. St. Johns-wort. Dwarf 
shrub with delicate foliage and large, single, 
bright golden flowers 2 inches across, from May 
through the summer. 
ILEX. Holly. 
CRENATA. Japanese Holly. Dwarf grower with 
small, roundish, glossy leaves and black berries, 
suitable for low foreground plantings. 
CRENATA BULLATA. A subvariety of |. crenata, 
dwarfer and with smaller leaves. 
CRENATA ROTUNDIFOLIA. Round-leaf Japanese 
Holly. A dense, low, rounded shrub, with 
slightly more rounded and larger leaves than 
I. crenata. The most vigorous grower of the 
Japanese Hollies. 
OPACA. American Holly. See Ornamental Trees. 
VOMITORIA. Yaupon; Cassine or Christmas Berry. 
A native evergreen Holly with small, glossy, 
bright green leaves, bearing small scarlet 
berries in great profusion throughout the winter. 
This is one of the most versatile and useful 
shrubs for a variety of landscape uses. It 
thrives in almost any type of soil from the upper 
South to South Florida. It is excellent for use 
in foundation plantings and shrub borders and 
is probably the most satisfactory and attractive 
hedge plant for the South. If left to grow un- 
pruned, it eventually forms a graceful small 
tree. It will make a beautiful dense, sheared 
hedge from 1 to 10 feet in height, and in- 
dividual plants can be trained and sheared to 
almost any shape or size desired. 
Ligustrum lucidum 
ILLICIUM., 
ANISATUM. Japanese Anisetree. A tall ever- 
green shrub with long, light green, anise- 
scented leaves. Used for tall border or screen 
planting, in sun or partial shade. 
FLORIDANUM. Florida Anisetree. Upright shrub 
with dark green leaves in whorls and beautiful 
dark red, star-shaped flowers in early summer. 
Needs partial shade, acid soil. 
JASMINUM. Jasmine. Easy-to-grow shrubs with 
light green foliage and bright yellow flowers in 
spring and early summer. 
FLORIDUM. Showy Jasmine. Low growing. 
HUMILE. Italian Jasmine. Tall; may be used as 
high hedge plant. 
PRIMULINUM (J. MESNYI). Primrose Jasmine. 
Low growing, with graceful pendulous branches. 
Good on banks or as a facer for tall shrubs. 
LAGERSTROEMIA INDICA. Crapemyrtle. Decidu- 
ous shrubs or small trees bearing immense bou- 
quets of bright flowers during the summer months. 
W atermelon-pink, White. 
LIGUSTRUM. One of our most attractive, depend- 
able and useful groups of shrubs, well able to 
care for themselves in all sorts of soil, wet or dry, 
thriving in sun or shade or adjacent to the sea. 
Their rich dark glossy green leaves, attractive 
panicles of purplish or black berries and showy 
white flowers in spring combine to make them the 
aristocrats of all-purpose shrubs for year-round 
effect throughout the South. They can form the 
backbone of almost any type of foundation or 
shrub border planting or make excellent natural- 
form or sheared hedges. 
Our Ligustrums are all grafted on root-knot 
(nematode)-resistant understock to insure long 
life and more vigorous, luxuriant growth. 
CORIACEUM. Curlyleaf Privet. Less common and 
slower growing than the other Ligustrum va- 
rieties. This one is much admired for its in- 
teresting upright habit of growth and dis- 
tinctive curled leaves. Excellent for planting 
against a wall or in narrow plant beds. Branches 
make excellent flower-arrangement material. 
JAPONICUM. Japanese Privet. This grows taller 
and faster than the other varieties but is 
generally considered less desirable because 
of its open habit of growth, coarser texture 
and less shiny leaves. Large, grape-like, 
pendulous clusters of purplish berries are very 
showy through the winter months. 
LUCIDUM. Glossy Privet; Waxleaf Privet. This 
spreading, compact, symmetrical grower is the 
most popular of all. 
NOBILE. Similar to L. lucidum except that it is 
more upright in habit and is used where a 
taller, narrower plant is desired or for taller, 
narrower hedges. This variety can also be 
trimmed tree-form.
