BOXWOOD 



Each season this favorite increases in popularity, 

 which is well deserved, for its uses are almost innumer- 

 able. As a tub- or pot-plant there is no broad-leaved 

 evergreen to compare with it. It is unquestionably the 

 most attractive and permanent hedge plant. There 

 are some famous hedges here in cold New England 

 linking us with the past centuries, their years running 

 well into the hundreds. 



As an isolated specimen in the formal garden, punc- 

 tuating admirably chosen points, it is extremely effec- 

 tive for topiary gardens. As an edging for outlining 

 walks and beds in the formal or old-fashioned gardens, 

 there is no substitute. 



The larger cities demand boxwood more and more 

 each year for outside window decoration and embellish- 

 ment of entrances. As pot- or tub-plants, they are 

 equally desirable whether in standard, pyramidal, or
