Evergreen Shrubs 



Evergreen Shrubs 



Ijroad-leaved evergreens are gradually finding their proper place 

 on the average home site, for ^sith them a \\ide range of effects may be 

 procured. 



In the winter the fresh green foliage helps to relieve the bleakness and 

 monotony of the bare appearance which the deciduous trees and shrubs 

 present. Perhaps best of all is the wonderful display of brilliantly colored 

 flowers of some varieties in the spring and early summer. 



When planted near the house and gardens or against background bor- 

 ders of large-growing evergreens, they present a constant-changing beauty 

 throughout the year. Perhaps best of all is the wonderful display of bril- 

 liantly colored flowers of some varieties in the spring and early summer, 

 most beautiful of which are the hardy Azaleas and gorgeous Rhododendrons, 

 while the Hollies. Quince Berries and Euonymus have an added charm of 

 bright berries. 



Another desirable quality is their adaptability to shady comers ol 

 houses, under trees, or in other places where there is insufficient sunlight for 

 other plants to thrive. 



They prefer moist but not wet soil containing leaf mold to give that 

 richness of the wood's soil. Lime is detrimental to evergreen shrubs. 



ABELIA grandiflora (Glossy Abelia j . A semi- 

 evergreen shrub of graceful arching branches 

 bearing clusters of pinkish white flowers from 

 July until frost. The glossy green leaves of 

 the summer turn to a purplish bronze in the 

 late fall. A very good shrub for foundation 

 planting and massing with other evergreens.
