AZALEAS AND BROAD-LEAVED 

 EVERGREEN SHRUBS 



This charming class of plants has an individuality all its own. In summer, we are charmed by their 

 beautiful flowers, and in winter by their varying evergreen foliage. If planted and grouped by themselves, 

 and not mixed with conifers or deciduous shrubs, their individuality is intensified and their true worth 

 appreciated. On the other hand, if mixed with other plants, one detracts from the other and the character 

 of both is lost. Every garden, however small, should have its group of this particular class of plants, and 

 being suited to a diversity of conditions, there is sure to be a nook or corner in every garden that would 

 be enhanced by these lovely gems.
