BEAUTIFYING BOXWOODS
Early colonists brought the
Estes - Foster

By
Donna Parrish & Bonnye Leary
ID Forsyth County In 1850,

22, 1832, married H. Estes
October 21, 1849 and died Aug

Burled near them are Emory
F. Estes, Meadora Velvle Es
tes Wood, Thomas A. Estes
and Roxie Atm Estes. All of
these were born In the 1860 s
and are probably Henderson

The other Estes families sh
own In the 1850 census are
Charles and Abagel Estes, Joel
and Mary Estes and Milesand
Ala Estes.
Also burled In Oils cemetery
Is L. D. Foster, February 2,
1829, to July 17, 1887. L. D.

with the Estes at this point.
The Estes-Foster plot is be
hind foe roadside park south
of Cummlng, off Highway 19.
It Is very overgrown with ho

Food Stamps
In Forsyth
ATLANTA—There were 1,013
low - Income Forsyth County
people on the U.S. Department
of Agriculture's Food Stamps
In April as compared to 987
the previous month, reports
Russell H. James, Southeast
regional administrator of
USDA's Food and Nutrition Se
rvice.
At the state level, It was
noted, there was a slight in
crease of 56S in the number of
people on USDA food assistance
programs in April. The number
on die food sump program was
up 5,629, while the food distri
bution program's toUl was
down, 3,084 to give the overaU
slight Increase.
A total of 121 of Georgia's
ISO counties are now operating
food sump programs.
Along the Eastern Seaboard—
notably the Mt. Vernon, Virg
inia area boxwood plantings
are said to date back to colonial
times. Actually, boxwood has
been used as an ornamental
since the time of the Roman
Empire, and possibly earlier.
In the Middle Ages, boxwood
was used extensively for orna
mentation around die castles of
England, where It became a
part of a famous gardening tr
adition.
Here In Forsyth County—
and in these times—we still
like beautiful boxwoods. They
provide dense foliage, glossy
leaves, and a spicy fragrance.
English box, a dwarf plant
that usually does not grow high
er than three feet, and the
common box, a faster growing
plant that may achieve the height
of a small tree, are the most
common varieties.
Boxwoods are tolerant of
shade and are often planted
In heavy shade adjacent to walls
or under tall trees.
These plants grow best In
heavy clay soil that Is well sup
plied with organic matter. Box
woods must have well drained
and aerated soli to grow well
and remain healthy.
