ENGLISH BOXWOOD 
makes neat Hedges, Edging ORT 
Boxwood has two important uses in the home plant- 
ing as represented in the adjoining pictures. Trimmed 
specimens are valuable accent plants because they 
may be purchased in the exact size to create the de- 
sired immediate effect and their slow growth is 
readily controlled by occasional trimming. Boxwood makes the 
neatest permanent low hedge and is useful for outlining ter- 
races (see picture), formal treatment of flowers and rose beds, 
and lining paths and drives. Both formal, trimmed plants and 
untrimmed plants are available from our large stock in the
