BOXWOOD »— 
We are glad to be able to offer this 
valuable shrub at a price everyone 
can afford. The stock we offer is bushy 
and wide, excellent for edging walks 
or beds. Contrary to the usual idea, 
Boxwood is bardy and will stand a 
temperature of 10 below zero without 
any damage, providing the plants are 
protected with a little lath screen, ad- 
mitting air and light, but giving 
enough shade so that the sharp sun 
during the months of December, Jan- 
uary and February does not burn the 
foliage. 
There are two popular forms the 
low dwarf variety for edgings to beds 
and a taller one suitable for hedge 
making.
