The largest 
OLD ENGLISH BOXWOOD 
plantation in the country 
TT ERE at Easton, Maryland, soil and climate combine to pro- 
A vide ideal conditions for large scale propagation and growth 
of Old English Boxwood. Moisture-laden breezes from the Atlan¬ 
tic Ocean or the Chesapeake Bay provide the plants with the 
necessary water and moderate temperatures in Summer and Win¬ 
ter. The light clay soil is admirably suited to the shallow, fibrous 
root growth because it holds the moisture near the surface. Plants 
quickly develop heavy, bushy, dark green foliage—solid to the 
center of the plant. Under such growing conditions, it was quite 
natural for Canterbury Maryland Boxwood to become the largest 
boxwood plantation in the United States. 
We are specialists in boxwood. For almost twenty years the 
one objective of our organization has been to produce and main¬ 
tain an exceptionally fine quality of stock. Our workmen have 
been especially trained in the propagation, growth and care of 
boxwood. Right now, we have more than one million wonder¬ 
fully healthy plants of various sizes growing on this plantation— 
all ready to dig and ship to beautify American homes and 
gardens. 
For years before the extensive, scientific propagation of Old 
English Boxwood on this plantation, this magnificent shrub was 
used almost exclusively in plantings about public buildings and 
memorials or on immense estates. Now we are able to furnish 
beautiful, heavy-foliaged, health-certified plants of romantic, 
historic, genuine Old English Boxwood to home owners and gar¬ 
den lovers of America at prices which are well within their easy 
reach. No other plant can bring to your garden such an heritage 
of romantic color—nor such a wealth of grace and charm of 
generations past. 
All plants grown from cuttings taken 
from boxwood planted before 
the Revolutionary War 
T? ACH one of our Canterbury Maryland Boxwood plants has 
been grown from a cutting taken from one of the oldest and 
most beautiful boxwood plantings in America. Before the Revo¬ 
lutionary War, while original settlers of Maryland were trading 
with friendly, native Indian tribes, these boxwood plants were 
brought over from England and planted with tender care and 
hope for the future right where they stand today. Think of the 
story these glorious old patriarchs could tell of the history of 
our own nation—and what tales they could tell of vows made, 
tears shed, flirtations, embraces, broken hearts and high hopes— 
all within the dark shadows cast by their dense, delicately scented 
foliage. Each Canterbury Maryland Boxwood plant that you 
receive was originally a twig on one of these splendid old speci¬ 
mens. In Canterbury Maryland Boxwood, you get romance, his¬ 
tory and tradition—a living link with Colonial America and a 
cultural touch with the development of the civilized world.
