—Boxwood— 



Some of the finest Boxwood imported 

 in recent years comes from Grooten- 

 dorst's Holland Nurseries. For the 

 coming year we offer equally good plants 

 in all sizes, from 8 inches up to 3 feet 

 in bush form, and in pyramidals from 

 2 to 7 feet. 



Our trimmed Globe and Pyramidal 

 Boxwoods are beauties. Each plant is 

 strong and vigorous. We also have Box- 

 wood in the standard and square pyra- 

 mid shapes in addition to Buxus suf- 

 fruticosa in the 8-inch size, just right 

 for edging.
