TTllllC! LUCVIO. their home grounds with 

 regard only to their summer beauty. This is 

 advisable for the place that is occupied only 

 during the summer months, but for the year- 

 round home a little thought and the assistance 

 of reliable nurserymen will enable you to 

 have a garden that will furnish comfort and 

 beauty for twelve months in the year. Don't 

 be content with a few weeks of bloom and 

 foliage and months of shabbiness when it 

 costs no more to plant for cheer and warmth 

 in the winter months when you need it most. 

 And, best of all, the summer beauty of your 

 garden is increased by such planting. 



Broad-Leaved Evergreens. JJ^j 



and shrubs are suitable for producing the effect 

 we have suggested. There are the shrubs with 

 berries that stay on all winter, and those with red 

 bark that form a warm and pleasing contrast with 

 the snow. But the most important class of all is 

 the Evergreens, and by Evergreens we 

 refer especially to the broad -leaved vari- 

 eties. For all of these, Rhododendrons, 

 Kalmias, Andromedas, Azalea amoena, 

 Boxwood, etc., the Bay State Nurseries 

 is the headquarters for New England.
