BROAD-LEAVED EVERGREENS 177 



We can never have the variegated effects of gold or 

 silver-edged hollies which are said to be highly cheerful in the 

 English winter. 



We shall never have the game-cover effects of England - 

 thousands of acres of English laurel and Gaultheria Shallon. We 

 are a long way yet from being a nation of pheasant raisers. 



But why repine? Think of the effects we can have! Are 

 they not more numerous and beautiful than you ever suspected ?*
