DWARF HARDY BOXWOOD 
5510 For Dwarf Evergreen Hedges 
No doubt you have at various times admired the dwarf Boxwood . 
hedges used so much for garden outlines on large estates. Most of 
the earlier Boxwood in this country came from England and later was 
much used in Virginia, New Jersey and other eastern states. 
We have grown quite a nice stock of these plants which have 
proven entirely hardy in Northern Indiana and now offer them to our 
customers at a reasonable price. In extreme northern sections they 
should be given some winter protection. 
(Note: for close hedges, plant 6 to 8 inches apart. For bed outlining 
plant 1 foot apart. Will eventually reach 2 to 3 feet high unless 
severely sheared and kept low.) 
4-yr., 6 to 8-inch plants, 3 for $1.25; 10 for $3.80; 
25 for $8.25; 100 for $32.00. All Postpaid.
