shrub spreads. It grows much more rapidly than Buxus suf- 
fruticosa and its foliage grows very dense and heavy if the plant 
is properly and regularly pruned. Buxus sempervirens is an 
ideal hedge plant—particularly if it is permitted to grow rather 
freely. Its heavy foliage, beautifully green throughout the 
year, makes it an ideal shrub for foundation plantings or for 
background to accentuate the beauty of some garden statuary 
or architectural effect. 
Topiary Forms 
T HESE are sheared forms of Buxus sempervirens and have all 
of the rich, deep-green color and heavy foliage growth which 
is characteristic of all Canterbury plants. These forms have 
had the constant, careful attention of experts in boxwood 
development. They have been sheared regularly to create per¬ 
fect formations and to permit the strength of the entire plant 
to be concentrated in developing dense growth in the foliage 
mass. All shapes are true to specifications and sizes are most 
accurate. Topiary forms are used extensively in formal lawn 
or garden arrangements and jardiniere or porch tub plantings.
