Broad Leaved Evergreen Shrubs. 
^ ; 
Rhododendrons produce most charming effects when planted in liberal masses. 
Rhododendron Everstianum. 
THE great beauty of the broad leaved evergreens makes them 
most valuable for gardening purposes. Many are among 
our most spectacular and gorgeous flowering shrubs, while 
their broad, attractive leaves show out most effectively during the 
portion of the year when many trees and plants are without foliage. 
There is practically no end of the charming results that can be gained 
by the liberal use of this class of plants. Groupings generally give 
most attractive effects and the plants themselves do much better 
when planted this way. 
Good, fertile loam should always be used in preparing for this, 
class of plants. Sufficient water should be supplied at least until 
they become well established so that they will not suffer from dry- 
ness. This does not necessarily mean frequent watering.
