BOXWOOD 
Whether in the small home- 
grounds or a large estate, Box¬ 
wood gives an appearance of 
age and dignity to its sur¬ 
roundings. it has a distinctive, 
mild fragrance which once you 
become acquainted with you 
can never forget. 
All Boxwood is slow-growing, 
the so-called Old English espe¬ 
cially so. That is why excep¬ 
tionally fine old specimens are 
worth a small fortune; some 
have been centuries in reaching 
their present state of perfec¬ 
tion. The most cherished 
possession of many old estates 
is their fine old Boxwood. 
Plant Boxwood now and 
enjoy it while it increases in 
value for you and your chil¬ 
dren. 
Planting of Boxwood 
Buxus sempervirens 
Buxus sempervirens. Lynhaven Box. This 
American Boxwood has the finest color 
of all. It is a faster grower than Suffru- 
ticosa and if regularly and properly pruned 
will make a dense plant in a comparatively 
short time. For hedges or foundation plant¬ 
ing it is ideal.

Topiary Forms of Boxwood 
These are sheared specimens of Buxus 
sempervirens and are used extensively in 
tub plantings and in formal garden ar¬ 
rangements. They have been regularly 
sheared by experts in this work and are 
especially fine specimens. The careful 
periodic shearing has developed dense 
growth in the foliage mass, and with our 
culture the plants have retained the deep 
green color and heavy foliage growth so 
desired in this type of plant.

Buxus sempervirens suffruticosa. Old English 
or Dwarf Boxw’ood. The Boxwood of history 
and romance so beloved by our Colonial ances¬ 
tors and the glory of many an old garden. It is a 
slow-growing Box—many of the finest plants 
we see are over a century old and still growing 
in beauty and value. By careful shearing it 
can be kept at any size. „ .
