A view of some of our Broad-leaved Evergreens. 
M ODERN home-plantings cannot be considered as complete— 
or hardly begun—if they do not contain a liberal supply of 
Broad-leaved Evergreens. They are needed for the green 
foliage which gives color all the year, especially in winter when 
warmth and color are demanded. There is need for them in all 
plantings, particularly in the outdoor living-room where they lay 
great claim to everyday beauty. 
FRUITLAND NURSERIES has an unusually large collection of 
Broad-leaved Evergreens. The plants are frequently transplanted, 
carefully pruned, and given plenty of space to develop into stately, 
vigorous, and healthy specimens. Some varieties do not trans¬ 
plant successfully from the open ground, and therefore these are 
carefully grown in pot-form, thus assuring success when remove^ 
to your home. 
The figure after each name denotes ultimate height of plant. 
ABELIA 
Abelia grandiflora (Glossy Abelia). 6 to 8 ft. One of our most beautiful, 
popular and satisfactory Broad-leaved Evergreens. Pinkish white blos¬ 
soms produced all summer. For single specimens, for groups, or for a 
hedge. Hardy as far north as Philadelphia, and has been grown suc¬ 
cessfully in sheltered positions in Massachusetts. Even when partially 
killed back, young shrubs flower profusely the same season.

AUCUBA . Gold-Dust Tree 
This beautiful plant is not sufficiently 
appreciated. In the open ground it gives 
the best results if planted in a shaded 
situation, in a somewhat moist, though 
rich, well-drained soil. Aucubas are espe¬ 
cially desirable for city gardens as they 
are seldom injured by smoke or noxious 
gases. These plants are also largely used 
for vases, urns and window-boxes. Hardy 
at Washington, D. C.

A strong-growing variety with large, 
dark glossy leaves.
