EVERGREEN SHRUBS 
BROAD LEAVED EVERGREENS 
Under broad-leaved evergreens are classed all shrubs 
retaining their foliage during the winter months. 
For city planting, in many instances, they have given 
better results than the coniferous evergreens. Many 
varieties of evergreens lend beauty, both with bloom 
and luxuriant evergreen foliage. Most of these 
broad-leaved sorts prefer shade. 
These evergreens may be used effectively in a 
number of locations—-as a background, in masses a- 
long foundations, intermingled with blooming plants 
such as shrubs and perennials, or arranged in natural¬ 
istic treatments of shrubs and conifers. Only a few 
of these plants are ever affected by insects or dis¬ 
eased with various blights. Those marked (*) thrive 
best in an acid soil in shady locations. Good treat¬ 
ment will produce the happiest results for you. It 
is well to plant these broad-leaved types in leaf- 
mold or peat, and once a year apply a small amount 
of Aluminum Sulphate. One pound is sufficient to 
treat five square feet.
