BOXWOOD, Dwarf English (Buxus suffruticosa). This is the roundleaved, slow- 
growing, compact variety frequently found on old estates here in Virginia. Specimens 
several hundred years old having a spread of 8 or 10 ft. are still the pride of many of 
the famous gardens but the enormous prices offered for these old specimens have’ moved 
many of them to-new homes. Young plants increase in value each year and serve to 
make the garden more beautiful.
