most discriminating buyers. Special attention is given to hardy 
native plants, which must always be the basis of successful perma¬ 
nent plantings.

cimen stock in Conifers, Rhododendrons, Ivalmias, Andromcdas, 
' other evergreens, and Boxford Nursery is established to supply

owners of large estates will Find it of great advantage to visit

ize that the real value of nursery stock is largely underground, 
luent transplanting, and handling specimens with adequate, 
aped balls, mean success and quick results. It coats more, but 
the fixed policy of the Boxford Nursery; and ‘‘cheap'' stock will
