faithfully fulfills the artist s design 
Boxwood lias a greater historical background than practically any other decorative shrub. It 
was thought to have been used in the gardens of the Near East long before the birth of Christ. 
Roman Emperors and patricians had its dense, compact foliage clipped to form living 
statues. Landscape architects of early France and Spain made beautiful use of box¬ 
wood in the elaborate formal gardens, made famous by romantic and historic 
novels. To its very general use in the gardens of England, one form of this 
splendid old plant family owes the name by which it is usually known—Old 
English Boxwood . . . The landscape architect has a wealth of experi¬ 
ence from which to draw for the beautiful creations possible through the 
use of this charming shrub. After a landscaping plan has been drawn 
and stock ordered to make the creation a reality, it is a great disap¬ 
pointment to architect and owner to detract from the beauty of 
the original conception by planting stock which is not in strict 
accordance with specifications—and delays caused by re¬ 
placements of inferior stock, drain the artist of all justi¬ 
fiable satisfaction and pride in the original creation. 
We are proud of our reputation for the excellent 
color, heavy foliage and vigorous health of Canter¬ 
bury Boxwood—and for the absolute depend¬ 
ence which leading architects place in our 
selections.
