>— 
BUXUS HANSWORTHENSIS > 
This fine variety of Box is not in com- 
mon use, and found only in the gardens 
of experts, and those “in the know.” It 
is quite fast growing, exceedingly hardy, 
much better able to withstand winter 
conditions, does not “burn,” grows into 
a compact upright form, and has large 
dark green leaves. It lends itself to de- 
velopment into individual specimens, and 
is particularly nice in low hedges of 
from 2 to 4 feet. May be clipped into 
any shape or form desired. We offer for 
the present only young plants about 12 
inches tall at 
Doz. $6.00, 100 $40.00

ing as a ground cover in small places
