EVERGREEN SHRUBS 
Stately Old Boxbush Adds an Indefinable Charm to this Doorway 
Boxwood 
T HE Box-bordered walk and flower garden, or doorway 
flanked by stately specimens of Boxwood create a feeling 
of age and charm of inestimable value in our gardens, and 
in the appearance of our homes. Andorra has long been famous 
for its rare old Boxbushes of large si/e that at once give char¬ 
acter to the new place. Then, too, we have Boxwood standards, 
pyramids and bushes for hedges and edging in all sizes. 
The recent pi’ohibition on imported Boxwood by the 
Federal Horticultural Board Will in no way affect our offerings, 
as the Boxwood which we list is growing at our nurseries. 
Appreciating the requirements of our patrons for Boxbush in 
large sizes, we set aside and have grown, with frequent trans¬ 
planting in our nurseries, large quantities in many varieties, so 
that the risk and expense of collecting large Box from old places 
is obviated to those who desire large specimens for immediate 
effect. These large Boxbush are from 5 to 7 feet in height and 
almost as broad ; they have taken on the beautiful modeling of 
billowy contour and rich appearance of the pompous guardians 
of some old Colonial house or garden; these plants from our 
nurseries move with a tremendous ball of fibrous roots and loam.
