D. Evergreens Most Used. The climate of the south Atlantic 

 states (Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Ala- 

 bama) provides an opportunity to use the broad-leaved evergreens in 

 great profusion as well as certain sorts of conifers which are not desir- 

 able farther north. All the broad-leaved evergreens mentioned else- 

 where in this book are useful in this region, as well as the coniferous 

 plants named below. All of these plants, however, with the exception 

 of the junipers, require at least partial shade (See Chapter XXXIII). 

 The firs, spruces, hemlocks, American arborvitae, and Douglas fir 

 should never be used in this region at elevations below 1,200 feet above 

 sea level.
