A SOUND INVESTMENT

Box wood has two important uses in the home planting as repre- 
sented in the adjoining pictures. Trimmed specimens are valu- 
‘able accent plants because they may be purchased in the 
exact size to create the desired immediate effect and their slow 
growth is readily controlled by occasional trimming. Boxwood 
makes the neatest permanent low hedge and is useful for out- 
lining terraces (see picture), formal treatment of flower and rose 
beds, and lining paths and drives.
