August and September Planting 
The Wild Garden. The basis of all the best landscape work of a permanent nature must be Native Plants and particularly where naturalis- 
tic effects are desired. If this fact be ignored, tame and fleeting results will follow. I make a specialty of IVild Gardens, and my long experience is 
here of greatest value. Every garden or estate has its own peculiar problems, and a discussion of details may prove helpful in unexpected ways. 
Lilies. Trilliums and Other Bulbs. These shonld be planted from August to November. We grow them by thousands for use in 
Rhododendron plantings, and for gardens, borders and woodlands. 
Hardy Native American Plants. The largest and liest collections of Native Plants in existence. This has been a specialty for 25 
years and there is hardly a large estate or park in America that has not used stock from my Nurseries either directly or indirectly, for the leading 
Nurseries are my customers. 
Send For Catalog. Full priced catalog mailed on request, and especially you should have "The Successful Rhododendron Bed. " 
Specimen Rhododendrons, Kalmias, Andromedas and Azaleas For Immediate Effect 
"The Successful Rhododendron Bed" gives full descriptions of these beautiful broad-leaved Evergreens. 
The Hardy Native American Rhododendrons are incomparably the best for general planting. At Boxford Nursery we have 
thousands of specimens from one foot up to heavy chimps 5 feet high for immediate effect and are ready for August and September planting. 
The varieties are carolinianum, clear pink, catawbicnse, bright red-purple and maximum, white, blooming in July the latest of all. 
Rhododendron Hybrids we have in most of the hardiest varieties, as well as R. laetevireus, small clear pink flowers in masses, and 
myrtifolium, quite similar but of very compact growth. 
American Hardy Azaleas. The finest Azaleas in the world for permanent planting under American conditions are native species in- 
cluding A. arborescens, A. vaseyi, A. lutea (calendulacea), the great flame-colored Azalea; A. nudiflora, A. viscosa, and A. canescens. Also 
Ghent and mollis Azaleas in many shades of color 
I have a stock of thousands of the finest plants in all sizes that will give immediate effect. It should be remembered that Azaleas play a very 
important part in the making of a permanent Rhododendron bed, but care must be used to avoid clashing colors. I shall be glad to make up proper 
combinations for my customers. 
Fine clumps full of buds may readily be planted in August and September, as well as many other ericaceae. The Azaleas are deciduous. 
Kalmia. (Mountain Laurel) Leucothoe, Pieris (Andromeda) floribunda, Leiophyllums (Mountain Heath) £nonymu8 and 
other broad-leaved evergreens transplant perfectly in August and September and are described in "The Successful Rhododendron Bed." 
Specimen Conifers— The Firs 
Abies conoolor. White Fir. Perhaps the most striking appearance of our American Firs, with soft and dense silver foliage. Splendid 
specimens up to 16 feet. 
Abies fraseri. A distinct species from the highest peaks of the Carolina mountains; makes a perfect specimen lawn and screen tree, with 
dark green, thick-set foliage (blue underneath) and compact, pyramidal habit. It is one of the choicest of all American conifers of the Fir section, 
not to be compared with the northern species, Abies balsamea, which is almost worthless in any but the latitude of middle and northern Maine, as it 
becomes "leggy," thin, and is short-lived An unusually fine lot of this splendid Fir. The attention of nurserymen is particularly called to A. fras- 
eri as the best Fir of this type that is grown in this country. The sizes listed are especially bushy and well-rooted. It seems perfectly at home in the 
South, thriving where few other evergreens of this class can be grown with success. There are few evergreens we can recommend so highly. 
Abies homolepis (brachyphylla) and A. veitcbi are two of the choicest and most striking of all the Firs as specimen lawn trees. 
The Junipers or American Cedars 
Janipems v!r;$iniana. Red Cedar. This is a specialty at my Boxford Nursery and specimens can be supplied up to 25 feet in height, 
transplanted and with large balls. There is no Evergreen more characteristic of our New England landscape and for immediate and permanent effect 
nothing will take the place of the Red Cedar. The variety glauca has bright silver foliage. 
Juniperns communis depressa. Prostrate Juniper or Savin. This varies from the closely prostrate form to an erect type 3 to 4 feet 
in height. It is the finest evergreen ground cover of our New England hills, and thrives in the poorest sandy soils and exposed locations. Single spec- 
imens often reach 20 feet in diameter and we can supply them from 1 foot to 12 feet diameter with heavy balls. 
Other Janipers. Splendid specimens of sabina, schotti, pfitzeriana, and chinensis procumbens. 
The Spruces 
Picea pungens Perhaps the best known is the famous Picea puni^eus or Colorado Spruce, varying from the type which is bright 
green to the deep blue Koster's variety of which we have over a thousand specimens. 
Picea alba. White Spruce, P. mariana. Black Spruce, P stitchensis, Sitka Spruce, P. orientals and others are all good. Splendid 
specimens at suitable prices. 
The Fines 
A splendid stock of over 100,000 Pines, in specimen stock from seedlings up to 16 feet, including White, Scotch and Austrian Pines, Piuns 
densiflora. cembra, banksiana, flexilis, montana. mughus, ponderosa, resinosa. riiiida and others. Visit Boxford Nursery and 
see them — you will find it werth while. 
Other Evergreens 
Douglas Spruce (Pseudotsuga taxifolia), Yews (Taxus) ; Arborvitaes (Thuya) etc. in many varieties, sizes and prices. 
The Hemlocks 
Tsufia canadensis. Canadian Hemlock. A stock of specimens in all sizes up to 12 feet. 
Tsu^a caroliniana. Carolina Hemlock. This grand new species is now universally accepted as the "Queen of American Evergreens." 
Introduced by Mr. Kelsey in 1884, it has become known to tree-lovers as the most distinctive and graceful of all conifers which are hardy throughout 
the entire United States. 
Its dense, dark foliage, sweeping, semi-pendulous branches, and eventually pyramidal form combine to give a charm not foimd jn any other 
evergreen known to cultivation. It is much hardier and more adaptable to city atmospheres than its plainer sister, the Canadian Hemlock, and will 
also thrive in southern latitudes where the latter becomes thin, yellow and unsightly. 
It is the "coming Evergreen' ' for the finest landscape plantings, either as single specimens or for mass effects and backgrounds. 
Professor Sargent's Opinion 
After the disastrous spring and winter of 1917-18, Prof. C. S. Sargemt, Director of Arnold Arboretum, says of this tree: "Numerous speci- 
mens of the Carolina Hemlock (Tsuga caroliniana) have been uninjured by the cold and drought of the year. This is one of the handsomest of all 
cone-bearing trees which can be grown in this part of the country." And again, in November 10, 1919, Bulletin of the Arnold Arboretum; "The 
handsomest of the Hemlocks which can be grown in Massachusetts and now one of the most beautiful trees in the Arboretum is a native of the south- 
ern Appalachian mountains, Tsuga caroliniana.
