Five 100-year old boxwood bushes were trucked to Nashville. Tenn., and two spruces and two magnol [ ias, each almost 35 feet high, were j taken to Weaver Gardens, nursery, j on the Asheville Hoad at Clyde. The trees were removed from ! the old Garrett property, former site of the Massie Funeral Home | at Haywood Miller and Montgom ery Streets. A new Dixie Home Store is being built on the proper tv Larry Weaver, nurseryman, was assisted in the moving by Joe Welch who furnished his derrick. The ancient boxwoods, consid ered some of the finest specimens in this community, have a long history in the town. They were or iginally on the -old Kogers prop erty, now occupied by the Fire stone Store on Main St. In 193f> they were moved bv Guy Massie to the then new site of the funeral home. This week they were ship ped to one of the new owners of the property, Calvin Houghland. for his beautiful home, a replica of Jackson's "Hermitage". Hough land's "Bright Hour Farm" is in Brentwood, near Nashville. Mrs. Houghland is the former Jose phine Holtzclaw of Waynesville. Each of the boxwoods was esti mated to weight 2.000 pounds with its six-foot bah of dirt, carefully I wired. Three Nashville landscape companies had to be called in to assist in the removal from the truck and planting. They were par ticularlv praiseworthy of the man ner in which Weaver bad prepar ed and handled the trees. In moving the spruce and mag nolias, Weaver had to mak? spec ial arrangements and plan the truck route carefully so that they would fit under all wires and overpasses.
