Buxus  •  Boxwood 
The  different  species  vary  in  height  from  low  bushes  to  medium-sized  trees.  All  are  long-lived,  of 
ense,  compact  growth,  and  have  dark  green,  glossy  leaves.  They  are  used  for  grouping,  edging  walks, 
lanting  against  house  foundations,  for  hedges,  and  in  tubs 
3r  formal  gardens,  terraces  and  porches.  '  ^ 
uxus  sempervirens.  Common  Tree  Box.  This  variety  is 
familiar  in  old-fashioned  gardens,  where  it  has  slowly 
developed  into  a  large,  broad  bush.  The  small,  dark 
green  leaves  are  always  fresh  and  glossy.  It  is  a  strong 
grower  in  almost  any  soil  and  does  well  in  shaded  places. 
It  withstands  shearing  and  may  be  clipped  into  artificial 
forms.  Our  stock  includes  some  specimens  that  have 
been  clipped  into  conical  or  pyramidal  shape,  and  are 
very  effective  in  formal  plantings  and  for  tubs  and  vases

Euonymus 
Upright  evergreen  shrubs  with  handsome  foliage,  that 
re  valuable  for  many  purposes.  They  grow^  best  in  light 
r  sandy  soils,  a  fact  that  suits  them  splendidly  for  sea- 
hore  plantings.  In  such  locations  they  also  make  good 
edges.  Unfortunately  the  .Japanese  varieties  sometimes 
;inter-kill  in  sections  much  north  of  Philadelphia,  though, 
^  cut  back  to  the  ground,  they  frequently  recover  and 
lake  stronger  plants  than  before.
