Evergreen Shrubs 
u is this class of plants that gives finish and richness to the 
home landscape. The green foliage is held throughout the year, 
thereby adding to the winter aspect of lawn and garden. No 
landscape or garden is altogether satisfactory without the use of 
these beautiful plants that afford such a wide range of selection 
in producing some of the most pleasing results. 
Broad-leaved evergreens are comparatively higher priced than 
the common fast-growing evergreen trees, but in many plantings, 
especially foundation plantings, their use would ultimately prove 
more economical. If you want a foundation planting, choice in 
texture and color, make your selection from this list of Evergreen 
Shrubs. They are also particularly adapted for planting in the 
evergreen- and rock-garden, for covering banks, edging groups of 
tall shrubs and evergreens, and as a border for drive and woodland. 
Long Island soil is suited to the growing of this class of plants. 
The soil you have, plus a mulch of decayed leaves, is all that is 
required. Watering, of course, is necessary during the dry season. 
ABELIA grandiflora. Glossy Abelia. A little shrub with pink 
bells all summer. Protect it with cornstalks or burlap in 
winter and it will not be killed back. Blooms like a miniature 
weigela, with flowers as pleasant to discover as arbutus.

ANDROMEDA (Pieris) floribunda. Mountain Andromeda. 
A little gem of the rhododendron and laurel family, growing 
about 2 feet high, with light green foliage that is perfectly 
hardy. It appears as if in bloom all winter, for above the 
foliage are clusters of buds which open in March with Iily- 
of-the-valley-Iike flowers. It is particularly appropriate 
at the outer edge of mass-plantings of choice evergreens 
about the foundation of a house, and can be used in the 
rock-garden.
