HABDINESS OF BOXWOOD TBEES. 



Will you kindly let me know whether 

 boxwood trees are hardy and tell me 

 something in regard to the nature of 

 them? Do they require much water? 

 I have some small trees, about sixteen 

 inches high, but do not understand the 

 care of them. D. E. M. 



The common boxwood, Buxus semper- 

 virens, is hardy, even in many of the 

 colder states, especially if given a little 

 winter covering to prevent scorching of 

 the foliage. Many old gardens in the 

 east contain quite large hedges and 

 bushes of this dense but slow-growing 

 evergreen, and 10 to 1.5 degrees below 

 zero has injured them but little when 

 they have had a covering of snow. If 

 your plants are in pots or tubs, they 

 should be placed in a shed, pit or light 

 cellar, where the temperature keeps at 

 the freezing, point or a little above or 

 below it through the winter, moving 

 them outdoors about the last of April. 

 They require an abundant water sup- 

 ply in summer; in winter one or two 

 waterings will suffice. If youif box 

 trees are planted out, you can protect 

 them with spruce or other evergreen 

 boughs after December, but it will be 

 safer to dig them uj) and store in a 

 cold pit for the winter. C.
