GRESHAM’S NURSERY 5 
°Buxus--°Boxwood 
~Boxwood plays a leading part in the history of American and English gardening. 
This plant aristocrat can boast of an enviable reputation, for its vigor, health, ap- 
pearance, and adaptability have combined to make it an all-American choice for founda- 
tion and border plantings. Boxwood carries such an air of dignity, and yet simplicity, 
with it that it is distinctive in both large and small gardens. 
Because Boxwood is so slow growing, fine old specimens are worth a small fortune, 
for they have been centuries in the making. Fortunately, smaller plants are also 
available, so that today’s gardeners can enjoy their Box as it grows. 
B. sempervirens—Bush-Box. The variety 
with small, dark green leaves; fresh 
and glossy. A compact grower, thrives 
in any soil and does well in shaded 
places. Can be trimmed to any shape 
and used extensively for hedges and 
formal gardens.

Broadleaf Evergreens 
Modern Home-Plantings cannot be considered as complete—or hardly begun—if 
they do not contain a liberal supply of Broadleaf Evergreens. They are needed for the 
green foliage which gives color all the year, especially in winter when warmth and 
color are demanded. 
Abelia grandiflora—A. rupestris. One 
of our most beautiful, popular and 
satisfactory broad leaved evergreens. 
The graceful, drooping stems and 
branches are covered with dark, glossy 
leaves which in winter assume a me- 
tallic green. From the middle of May 
until frost this plant produces an im- 
mense quantity of tubular-shaped 
white flowers.
