Evergreen Shrubs 



THESE " Broad-lea\"ed Evergreens" are being used more and more each year^ because they are so desir- 

 able and effective in all landscape work. Their heaw leaf masses meet the demand for fresh green 

 foliage to enliven and cheer the bare aspect of deciduous trees and shrubs in Winter. But best of all is 

 the magnificent display that most of them make when in bloom, especially the Rhododendrons and Kalmias. 

 Another desirable quality most of them have is a fondness for shady places, so that they meet a large demand 

 in beautifying these spots, which are usually thought so difficult to adorn. As a rule, they transplant easily, 

 are quite hardy, give immediate results and are altogether very satisfactory plants to use. Many of the plants 

 under this heading are most effective and more satisfactory when planted in large masses with the ground 

 kept well mulched.
