BOXWOOD - VIRGINIA GROWN 
Boxwood has long been one of our specialities, as 
it has been and still is, aside from its sentimental 
and historic value in association with Virginia, the 
most practical, durable and beautiful plant that can 
be used. Its use will add dignity and charm to any 
home or garden. We have several hundred thousand 
plants in the various sizes of our own growing besides 
a quantity of specimen collected plants of both dwarf 
and bush types.

walks and have given great satisfaction.
