number of steps. The lowest steps having at each side the shortest 

 pyramid. I am certain you can conjure a picture of the finish 

 given by such a planting; you can visualize how the pyramids 

 would give an unusual note to a garden, by the simplest possible 

 effort. The very dwarf boxwood edging (suffruticosa) trees 

 should be replanted about every two years because their own roots 

 force them out of the ground. They rejoice in a Spring feeding of 

 bone and lime, equal parts, a liberal sprinkling of it around the little 

 trees and then cultivated into the soil will keep them nourished and 

 lovely year after year. They grow slowly and the clipping needed 

 to keep their form is done in the early Spring; it is neither tedious 

 nor laborious and once or twice only during the entire Summer will 

 it be required.
