ORNAMENTAL DEPARTMENT— EVERGREEN SHRUBS

BROAD-LEAVED EVERGREEN SHRUBS. 
3 n this department of our catalog we list such plants as are distin- 
tinguished from the Conifers, in that they have leaves similar to those 
of deciduous plants. 
The plants listed here are all perfectly hardy on the west side of the 
Cascade Mountains; many of them are hardy in the eastern section, but 
not all. As a group they should be more generally planted about the 
homes in our coast towns, because 
effect.
