Kingsville Nurseries — Kingsville, Maryland 
_— 


Boxwoods thrive very well in partial shade and prefer 
nct to be fully exposed to hot sun. They like leaf compost 
about their roots and are good feeders. Very well rotied 
cow manure is good, and raw bone-meal seems to keep 
them sturdy. They do not like to become dry about the 
roots tho’ they should never be planted in a remaining 
wet spot. 
Lime and sulphur, ‘‘one gallon to 50 gallons o water,” 
sprayed over the entire plant in June, will control koth red 
spider and boxwood wilt. Both of these can kill boxwood 
in a very shori time. DDT. will contrcl box-leaf minor and 
your State Entomologist can best advise how to use the DDT. 
Cut honeysuckle placed over and around boxwood in 
late fall, will protect the box during the winter. This per- 
miis the air to circulate through the box, yet prevents the 
sun from shining on the foliage. Mulching sh uld also 
ke placed around the ground to keep roots from freezing. 
Remove the honeysuckle before new growth starts ia spring.
