EVERGREEN SHRUBS 
W ITH few exceptions, no ground, either small or extensive, should be without some repre¬ 
sentative of this rich and interesting group of plants. They endure shade, and their rich 
blossom and foliage effect makes them almost indispensable. Certain varieties of this class, 
such as Rhododendrons, Azaleas, and Laurel ordinarily grow more satisfactorily and show to better 
advantage when planted in rather heavy masses. A deep, cool, moist subsoil, with proper drainage, 
is ideal. As a rule, they dislike lime, or limestone soil, and success will be more certain on such 
soils if they are planted in woods earth or mulched with peat moss. Oak leaves are ideal for 
Leucothoe catesbaei. See page 11 
Azalea macrantha. See page 10
