EVERGREEN TREES and SHRUBS 
ri^ HIS group of trees and shrubs embraces a ver 3 f wide range of plant 
material. It is the use of these plants that marks the great difference 
of California gardens from those of other sections. The wide use of 
broadleaf evergreens breaks down the transition from large conifers and 
shade trees to bedding and bulbous plants. Their ever green foliage adds 
a touch of luxuriance to our gardens at ever season and in winter especially 
the permanence of their foliage adds cheer to the landscape.
