The Florists^ Review 107 Getting Up a Stock of the NEW IBOLIUN PRIVET in a Huny THESE are the days when hurry-up methods are in order and it is especially so within the realms of Hor- ticulture. The Nurseryman who antici- pates getting up a stock of named Eho- dodendrons, for instance, and begin- ning at the bottom, must realize that he has a several years' investment be- fore him, with a comparatively limited demand in prospect. Not so with the propagator of some of the quickly grown hedge plants with an almost un- limited quantity demand. /Hie accompanying illustration is froiii a snapshot of the end of one of our propagating blocks of the new hardy hybrid privet, IBOLIUM. This luxuriant growth is but one year old. Its, height can be visualized by noting the stake which appears in the picture, which is three feet long, the bottom edge resting on the ground. When we decided, a year ago, to offer IBOLIUM Privet to the trade this autumn our total stock included but the original plant, some forty (40) three-year-old plants and a few hun- dred one-year-olds. The problem of just how to work up a stand of prop- agating wood with all possible haste wasi before us. We succeeded in get- ting from our available stock some two thousand buds. These were put in a section of a block of two-year-old Amoor Privet, two to three buds to a stem. These wintered well and the luxuriant growth you see in this illus- tration resulted, having furnished us,. during the first summer, not only a quantity of wood for summer propaga- tion, but a big supply of material for hard wood cuttings for setting direct in the field another spring. IBOLIUM Privet grows with the same freedom as California Privet, both from hard and soft wood cuttings, and makes, under similar conditions, even more luxuriant growth and a heavier stand of both one and two- year-old plants. IBOLIUM Privet very closely resembles California Privet as to appear
