Evergreen Shrubs 
Give these acid soil and some shade. Ilex, Kalmia, 
Leucothoe, Pieris, Rhododendrons. 
Deciduous Shrubs 
Almost all varieties, but preferably those of most graceful 
habit and having foliage good throughout the entire season. 
Plants for Ground-Covers 
In Sunny Places. Vinca minor. Ranunculus repens, 
Lysimachia Nummularia, Veronica repens, Cerastium 
tomentosum, Dianthus deltoides, Dianthus arenarius, and 
other Pinks. Sedums in many varieties, as well as hundreds 
of other low-growing and attractive sun-loving plants. 
In Shade. English Ivy (Hedera Helix), Pachysandra 
terminalis, Anchusa myosotidiflora, Hosta, and others. 
Lily-of-the-Valley (Convallaria majalis), Zanthorhiza 
apiifolia, Dicentra eximia. 
Plants for Shady Places 
Because the garden is shaded is no reason for despair. 
Hundreds of beautiful shrubs and perennial plants 
require just such shady conditions for their best 
development. 
Evergreens 
Most of the evergreen shrubs and trees require an acid 
soil such as may be found in the neighborhood of oak woods 
and coniferous forests. Plenty of leaf-mold is necessary to 
grow these plants, and the soil may be kept in an acid 
condition by frequent applications of aluminum sulphate. 
Andromeda (Pieris), Hemlock, Laurel, Leucothoe, 
Mahonia, Myrtle, Pachysandra, Rhododendron, Yew. 
Deciduous Trees and Shrubs 
While deciduous subjects do not as a rule require an 
acid soil, most of them do not object to it, and they there¬ 
fore thrive under the same conditions as those which are 
suitable for the evergreen plants. 
Acanthopanax, Aronia, Dogwood, Forsythia, Bush 
Honeysuckle, Privet, Silver Bell, Viburnum, Witch-hazel.
