THESE FOLKS BOUGHT BOXWOOD FROM US—THEY ARE 
GLAD THEY DID—THEY SAY SO 
It was beautiful, healthy and vigorous when it was planted, it still is, and of course each year 
as it mellows with age it blends more into the finished picture 
Matched pairs of these century-old plants placed on either side of a doorway add that 
inimitable atmosphere of hospitality to any estate; skillfully used in garden plantings 
it brings the grace and grandeur and romance of generations past within 
a modern garden wall. 
For the quaint, home-like atmosphere of an Old English cottage or the formal, geometrically 
perfect proportions of a French or Italian court - Boxwood lends an enchantment 
and charm that no other shrub can produce.
