BOXWOOD (Buxus) 
The first group of Broad-leaved Evergreens to be extensively used as landscape 
material in America. The old Boxwood gardens of Virginia and other states of the 
South are recognized as being among the most interesting gardens in America and 
are visited annually by thousands of tourists. 
Boxwoods are long-lived, slow to medium growers, beautiful throughout the year. 
They have many uses in both old and modern gardens, are especially noted for the 
bordering of driveways, walks, perennial beds, Azalea groups, and other Broad- 
leaved Evergreens and flowering plants. The taller species are even used as screens. 
Boxwoods always carry a certain amount of dignity, yet can be effectively used in 
the small, modern garden. There are many varieties; we offer the most popular, 
practical ones. 
BOXWOOD, Belgian. Rather dwarf, slow-growing, compact. Large, glossy foliage, 15-18 in., 
$3.75; 18-24 in., $6.00; 24-30 in., $8.00. 
Blue Pyramidal (Buxus sempervirens glauca). Its tall, pyramidal habit and beautiful blue- 
green foliage make it sure to become better known and more widely used. 18-24 in., 
$4.50; 24-30 in., $6.00. 
Oriental (Buxus japonica). Fast grower, large, light green foliage. Especially adapted to the 
South, where climate is too hot for other varieties. 15-18 in., $3.50; 18-24 in., $5.00; 
24-30 in., $7.00; 30-36 in., $9.50. 
BOXWOOD, Standard (Buxus sempervirens). Often referred to as American or Standard Box 
because of its general use. No doubt more of this useful type is grown than all other varie- 
ties combined. Miata Stabe maturing at a height of 15 ft. or more, with equal spread. 
Slender, pointed, dark green leaves, plant pyramidal in form when young, broader as it be- 1

(Ilex) 
Well known, popular group of Broad-leaved Evergreens; useful in garden as well as for 
Christmas decoration material. Glossy, dark green foliage and ornamental berries. We recom- 
mend use of Rho-Za-Grow on Hollies and the planting of groups of three or more for suc- 
cessful fruiting. 
AMERICAN (Ilex opaca). Adapted to a wide range of soil and climate. In many places 
will grow into specimen trees 25 ft. or more in height but often kept sheared in the garden 
to small specimens. White flowers in early spring. Red fruit on the berry-bearing plants 
serves as a decoration throughout the winter. Illustrated page 34. 2-3 ft., $4.75; 3-4 ft., 
$6.50; 4-5 ft., $10.00. Larger specimens quoted on request 
BOXLEAF (Ilex convexa). Dwarf, compact grower. Most effective dark, glossy green, convex 
foliage; blue berries. One of the best Dwarf Evergreens suitable for foundation plantings. 
12-15 in., $3.50; 15-18 in., $4.25. 
CHINESE (Ilex cornuta). Masses of large red berries which appear on younger plants than 
the American. Not entirely hardy in the colder, higher altitudes of Virginia, but ideal in 
the eastern half and points farther south. Rather difficult to transplant. 18-24 in., $5.00; 
24-30 in,. $6.50. 
ORIENTAL (Ilex crenata). Differs from Chinese by having small thick, dark green foliage; 
blue berries. 18-24 in., $4.25; 24-30 in., $5.00; 30-36 in., $6.00. 
ROUND-LEAF ORIENTAL (Ilex crenata rotundifolia). Larger, rounder leaves than the Ilex 
crenata, making a broader more compact plant. Especially suited for spaces requiring a 
low, slow growing broad-leaved evergreen. Can be effectively used with Boxwood and other 
Dwarf English Boxwcod broad-leaved material. 15-18 in., $3.50; 18-24 in., $4.75; 24-30 in., $6.50.
