GROUP III— VALUABLE PLANTS FOR SHEARED HEDGES AND EDGING 



A well kept hedge or a neat edging reflect to a large degree the character of the owner and of the grounds. Neat- 

 ness and orderliness are two qualities suggested. 



When space is limited and a screen desired, a sheared hedge is recommended. 



Hedges also give us a solid background of green and may be made practically impassable, thus taking the place of 

 a fence. 



Edging is used around flower beds, along the sides of walks and paths and in front of shrubbery plantings. It gives 

 us something very low-growing, thus effectually hiding the ground where many shrubs are bare of foliage. It defines 

 walks and paths more clearly and effectually outlines the flower beds. Edging around flower beds eliminates the ragged, 

 sprawly appearance so often a conspicuous note in flower gardens. 



And for enclosing a formal garden a sheared hedge of some kind is almost indispensable.

TRUEDWARF BOX. Buxus sempervirens suffruticosa. 

 This variety has small rounded leaves and is most compact 

 and dwarf in growth. It is widely used for edging walks 

 and flower beds. Good garden soil is all that is necessary. 



It should be planted about 4-6 inches apart and rather deep 

 so that all the roots are well covered with soil.
