BUXUS SUFFRUTICOSA (Old English Box- 
wood). Here is an opportunity for everyone 
who loves the Old English boxwood to pur- 
chase it at reasonable prices in quantities for 
planting along walks, around garden borders 
and for other decorative purposes. One of the 
many reasons boxwood ts so cherished ts be- 
cause of the tradition handed down to us from 
colonial times when boxwood was first planted 
by the early colonists. Few other evergreen 
plants can compare with it in usefulness. 
As early as 1423 boxwood was used for wood 
engravings, combs, table tops, and for the 
handles of tools. It originated in the vicinity 
of the Black Sea, and in the 16th and 17th 
centuries members of the nobility had their 
gardeners trim the large specimens of boxwood 
into fantastic shapes. Because boxwood grows 
so slowly and in such good form, it has come 
to be treasured in the garden in much the same 
manner as antiques are treasured in the home. 
Dozens of Perkte boxwood may be planted 
at the cost of one moderate-sized specimen.
