BOXWOOD 
Boxwood holds the same place in the Broadleaf Evergreen group that 
Yews do among the Coniferous Evergreens. Its slow growth, permanence, 
beauty and adaptability give it a unique dignity. In Europe and in our 
Eastern states there are priceless boxwood hedges centuries old. Each pass¬ 
ing year but adds to their beauty.
