Buxus : Boxwood 
The different species vary in height from 
low bushes to medium-sized trees. All are 
long-lived, of dense, compact growth, and have 
dark green, glossy leaves. They are used for 
grouping, edging walks, planting against house 
foundations, for hedges, and in tubs for formal 
gardens, terraces and porches. 
Buxus sempervirens (Common Tree Box). 
This variety is familiar in old-fashioned 
gardens, where it has slowly developed 
into a large, broad bush. The small, dark 
green leaves are always fresh and glossy. 
It is a strong grower in almost any soil 
and does well in shaded places. It with¬ 
stands shearing and may be clipped into 
artificial forms. Our stock includes all 
shapes and sizes, which are very effective 
in formal plantings and for tubs and vases.

B. var. suffruticosa (Dwarf Box). The vari¬ 
ety so extensively used for edging walks 
and now again so popular in all formal 
and old-fashioned gardens. It grows very 
slowly and reaches, after many years, a 
height no greater than 3 to 5 ft. In edging 
walks set the plants from 2 to 4 inches 
apart.

Euonymus 
Upright evergreen shrubs with handsome 
foliage, that are valuable for many purposes. 
They grow best in light or sandy soils, a fact 
that suits them splendidly for seashore plant¬ 
ings. In such locations they also make good 
hedges. Unfortunately the Japanese varieties 
sometimes winter-kill in sections much north 
of Philadelphia, though, if cut back to the 
ground, they frequently recover and make 
stronger plants than before. 
Euonymus Japonica (Japanese Euonymus). 
An erect form with glossy green foliage 
and bright green bark. Makes a good 
specimen bush, for individual planting.

Ilex : The Hollies 
The berried twigs are familiar decorations at 
Christmas time, but most people do not know 
what splendid ornaments the trees are in open 
or collective planting. Their foliage is always 
beautiful, the flowers small but interesting, and 
the scarlet fruits are ornamental. The flowers 
being unfertile in themselves, it is necessary 
to plant several trees near each other to be 
sure of berries. 
Ilex aquifolium (English Holly). Dark, 
glossy green, prickly leaves. Erect shapely 
habit* fond of sandy soils, though it grows 
well in other places. Each 
3 to 4 ft.$3-00 
I. crenata (Japanese Holly). Small, dark, 
attractive leaves. It withstands shearing 
and may be trained into any desired form. 
Makes dense, compact low hedges. Splen¬ 
didly suited for seashore planting. Not 
dependably hardy north of New York city.

Kalmias : Laurel 
These flowering shrubs compare well in 
grandeur with the Rhododendrons. They are 
very hardy, grow almost as well in swamps as 
in drier locations, and prefer partly shaded 
situations, but also thrive in sunny places. 
Kalmia angustifolia (Sheep Laurel). A 
dwarf, vigorous variety, with deep rose- 
colored flowers that open early. Each 
2 to 2^2 ft.$1.50 
K. latifolia (Mountain Laurel). Bushy 
shrubs with elongated, oblong leaves which 
are always fresh and glossy, making pos¬ 
sible charming foliage effects and cheery 
landscapes at all seasons. In early spring 
they bloom profusely. The delicate pink 
buds, beautiful in themselves, open in large 
corymbs of pink and white flowers. They 
bloom after the Rhododendrons and are
