Evergreens for Formal Effects 
open-growing, grace¬ 
ful tree, usually with 
a number of stems 
branching from the 
ground, to be seen 
about old homesteads. 
This variety stands 
shade better than the 
others. 
Then there is the 
Dwarf Box, B. sem- 
pervirens, var. suffru- 
ticosa, which has been 
used for the neat low 
edging of garden-beds 
from earliest times, and 
of very slow growth, 
hedges perhaps a hun¬ 
dred years old being still less than 2 feet high. Dwarf Box and Box Bush 
can be clipped almost indefinitely, to maintain any desired height or shape, 
and so both may be used for hedges, depending on the height desired. 
All the Boxwood which we offer is grown in our Nurseries and, unlike 
the Boxwood usually sold, is thoroughly acclimated; the loss ratio on 
Dutch Box freshly imported from Europe is usually very high. 
The illustration at the top of the page gives a graphic idea of the size 
and character of the specimens which we offer. These plants lift with a 
huge ball of roots and, securely packed and crated, can be shipped to 
any distance.
