FOR ALL-AROUND UTILITY 
ENGLISH BOXWOOD 
Boxwood has two important uses in the home planting as repre- 
sented in the adjoining pictures. Trimmed specimens are valuable 
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 outlining terraces 
(see picture), formal treatment of flowers and rose beds, and lining 
paths and drives. Both formal, trimmed plants and untrimmed plants 

for best effect.
