AN OLD BoxWooD BORDER
There Are Some survIvals Of 6eauti-
full Garden Ornaments Still
to BE Found.

Time was when the lockwood border
was considered the very top notch OF
frontyard garden ornamentation. And
1t was thought to be very beautiful
when trimmed into fantastic shapes
or clipped evenly in rectangular out
line. Take almost any of the old time
novels, and in them will appear a de-
scription of the lockwood borders run.
ming perfectly straight line from the
colonial porch to the front gate. Box
wood hall was favorite name for
many an old time home.
The privet hedge has largely
usurped the place Of the lockwood
border, says the Newark IN. j. News.
The latter was such slow grower
Years after 1t was out 1t seemed hard
ly larger than when first planted. But
1t didn't send out impudent shoots in
every direction; 1t grew slowly, Sc
dately and in deliberately chosen d.
rections. 1t was never in a hurry to
be big. Boys may cut whips from an
untrimmed privet hedge, but no one
ever took such liberties with the dig
nified old lockwood bush. 1t did not
promote corporal punishment.
There were two things about the
lockwood border that none who are
acquainted with it will ever forget;
its dark green foliage, winter and
summer. and its persistently unpleas-
ant odor. The latter isn't like that of
birch, sassafras, sandalwood, willow,
butternut or cedar. 1t is more like
that of the simplocarpus fetidus-the
skunk cabbage. But the box bush
stands up as stiff and dignified as If
it were disseminating the perfumes Of
Araby the blest.
Now and then some very fine speci-
mems of lockwood are found in this
country, and wherever they are they
point out place having history run
ming back a century or two. These
bushes have not been clipped or 9TH
erwise mutilated since our GRANDPA
Tiers days, and have grown into great
trees-that is, great for lockwood. Just
such bush was recently sighted near
Mount Holly by Long Island million
aire, and he paid a small fortune to
have it removed to his estate. 1t was
IL feet high, more than Is feet In
diameter and with great clump Of
clay attached to its ramified roots,
weighed ten tons. 1t may live In its
new home, but as rule, these grand
old box bushes resent removals after
they are hundred years old.
A fine group of box bushes adorns
the old Elias Boudinot mansion on
East Jersey street, Elizabeth, where
both Washington and Lafayette were
entertained in the old days. Four
large bushes are still f1ourishing on
the Stoudinger property, 1853 Broad
street. corner of Clay, in Newark. The
house was built in 1882, and the box
must have been planted later, but
each of the four specimens Is at least
ten feet high and as many in diam
eter. Large sums have been offered
for them time and again, but have
been refused. Doubtless there are
many other fine specimens of the old
time favorite box, but a large and
shapely tree is still valuable and
cherished heritage.

The Blackwell-Spain Nuptials.

That was very pretty wedding at
st. Monicas Catholic church Wednes-
day morning. The contracting par
ties were Miss Florence Spain, sec
ond daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. E. ].
Spain of this city, and Mr.. Woodford
v. Blackwell of Miami, former Pa
latka young man and son of Hon. J.
N. Blackwell.
The ceremony was carried out with
all the solemn splendor and pomp of
the Roman ritual by Rev. ]. D. Lap
lante, rector, assisted by Rev. P. Bar
ry of South Jacksonville, a former
pastor. The music was magnificent;
in fact leading lady vocalist of this
city said it was the finest music she
ever heard in Palatka church. The
choir was composed of Sisters of st.
Josephs Academy.
The bride was attended by her sis
ter, Miss Cecilia Spain, as maid of
honor, and by Miss Ruth Price, as
bridesmaid. The groom was attend
ed by C. H. Macdonald and w. D.
Walton. The father gave the bride
away. ]. D. Bingham and J. A.
Shelley were the ushers. The big
church was well filled, though the
morning was very inclement with
rain, thus attesting to the popular es-
TEEN in which the contracting parties
are held by the people of this city
where both have grown to maturity.
The brides wedding gown was a
beautiful crepe de meteor draped with
chiffon and pearl trimmings, and with
a bodice of princess lace, with veil
falling over the whole. She carried
a boqIet of roses. The maid of hon
or and bridesmaid were charmingly
gowned in yellow messaline chiffon
with pearl trimmings and each car
ried a boquet of white carnations.
Back of this happy wedding is a
romance of love that has grown and
matured from old school days in the
Palatka high school, when the bride
and groom, as children, were compan-
ions. Love has grown with the years
and found its joyous fulfllment in the
ceremony of Wednesday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Blackwell left dur
ing the day on brief trip to Wash
ington. On their return they will
make their home in Miami, where
Mr.. Blackwell is engaged profession
ally.
