BOXWOOD

It is widely used for low hedges to border walks, drives and 
formal gardens. Grows slowly hence needs little pruning. As 
trimmed specimen plants they are excellent subjects for pots 
or wherever formal plants are needed. Trimmed globes, 12- 
15 in., $2.00; pyramids, 26-28 in., $2.75; 24-26 in., $2.50; gal.

startling blossoms make their appearance. Is quite hardy. 
Good drainage and plenty of sun. 7-8 ft. 5-gal. containers,

BOTTLE BRUSH 
Callistemon viminalis. One of the newer and by far the 
best of the bottle brush family. From early spring until

we hope we're not exaggerating! Full sun is best. Hardy.
