BUXUS (Boxwood) 
There is no doubt that ‘Box’ is one of the finest and most useful of 
the broadleaf evergreens. It lends itself to all kinds of uses in the 
garden or as specimens in tubs on the porch or terrace. 
It has three particularly fine and unusual attributes which are not 
commonly found in other shrubs: 
One: It does well on poor soils. 
Two: It grows luxuriantly in sun or shade. 
Three: It grows fine under the drip of tall trees. 
Further, no matter how old or how big it gets, you can successfully 
transplant it, move it, or sell it. 
English Box (Boxwood Edging) 
This is the English ‘’Box’’ and the best kind to use for edgings 
around flower or rose beds. It can be clipped and kept so it will not 
exceed 12 inches in height. 
4 to 6 inches high Doz. $6.00, 100 $40.00, 1000 $385.00 
6 to 8 inches high Doz. $7.25, 100 $50.00, 1000 $485.00 
Korean Box 
It is very hardy and will grow where the more tender English Box will 
winter-kill. The Korean Box is successfully grown in the Botanic Gardens 
in Montreal, Canada. It can be clipped to suit. Makes a perfect edging 
for beds; may also be grown to form dwarf hedges 2 feet high or more. 
We offer nice young plants grown in pots, with small ball of earth.

COTONEASTER 
Divaricata Hedging size, 18-24 inches, Doz. $10.00, 100 $70.00 
A low growing, much branched and graceful shrub from China. Its 
ultimate height is about five feet and it is perfectly suited for hedges 
of medium height, say from 3 to 5 feet, Foliage is small and round, 
highly polished dark green. It creates a splendid effect. Brilliant small 
egg-shaped, red fruits im autumn add to its beauty. Few shrubs 
equal Cotoneaster Divaricata in the border or as 4 hedge plant. 
Multiflora Hedging size, 2 to 3 feet, Doz. $10.00, 100 $70.00 
Here follows a report published by the nationally famous Morton 
Arboretum of Lisle, Illinois: ‘“More spectacular are the red-fruited 
forms, which comprise a majority of the species in cultivation. Of these, 
Cotoneaster Multiflora is a perennial favorite here. Our greatest speci- 
men has long since exceeded its designated ultimate height, and grown 
into a shapely bush 10 feet tall. The whip-like branches are arching 
and spreading, and in late May erupt along the entire length into 
clusters of white Hawthorn-like flowers. An effect equally pleasing 
prevails in autumn when good sized crimson fruits of dazzling brilliance 
fringe the branches. They remain effective well into October or No- 
vember. Between the flowering and fruiting seasons, interest is fur- 
nished by the broad, clean appearing foliage of soft blue-green.’’ For 
hedges this variety is particularly well adapted.

She CNew 
Chornless Barberry 
(Patented) 
Barberry is used more for hedges than any other shrub 
and justly so. It performs the function of a hedge plant 
splendidly and at little cost. Its ease of culture as well 
as its brilliant fruit and autumn foliage make it the 
number one plant for that purpose. 
Very often a hedge is desired for a dividing line .or 
along the drive to the garage or specimen plants of 
Barberry are required in a mixed planting of shrubs. 
The common Barberry in such locations often is a nui- 
sance because of its thorns. Our new Thornless Barberry 
should be used wherever the need of protection provided 
by the thorns of the common Barberry is not required, 
along private drives, walks near entryways where damage 
to clothes and particularly stockings is possible, use the 
Thorniess Barberry. It is even more handsome in form 
and just as colorful in fall as the common Barberry. 
You will be proud of such a hedge. It will be easy to 
keep clean and it is handsome in fall as well as in 
summer.
