Broad-Leaved Evergreens 



Boxwood. 



Harrison-Grown Boxwood 



Possibly no other evergreen shrub has been so much used for 

 marking the boundaries of formal gardens, to outline flower beds, 

 for low hedges, and for other ornamental purposes. The plants 

 will adapt themselves to almost any situation and climate, and by 

 judicious pruning can be trained to many forms. We believe that 

 our stock of boxwood this year is considerably above the average, 

 being possibly the highest quality available throughout the Union. 

 The plants have been properly cultivated and transplanted, and 

 are therefore in just the condition to grow rapidly when trans- 

 planted to your grounds. We are one of America's largest growers 

 of boxwood. Boxwood will be properly dug, balled and burlapped, 

 except customer advising otherwise. 



Boxwood (Buxus sempervirens). Handsome shrub of dense, com- 

 pact growth. Leaves evergreen, quite small, deep glossy green. 

 An ideal plant, more extensively used for shaping in various 

 forms than possibly any other evergreen.
