Broad-leaved Evergreen Shrubs 
Under this heading we list some of the most important of ornamental plants. They not 
only brighten the gray days of winter with the refreshing green of their foliage, but in their 
ranks will be found some of the grandest of flowering plants; others make us happy with their 
jewel-like berries during fall and winter. Every home with any ground at all can find a place 
for a few of these splendid shrubs. 
AZALEAS should be planted with Evergreen Shrubs to liven up the landscape with their brilliant 
flowers 
Garland Flower 
Daphne cneorum 
An exquisite dwarf shrub abundantly covered 
with deliciously fragrant pink flowers in April 
and May and again in late summer. The leaves 
are evergreen, darkly lustrous, and grayish on 
the reverse side. They may be planted where 
there is room for a plant of only f-foot spread— 
at the house foundation, in the rockery, or flower 
border. Cole’s plants are full of flower-buds 
ready to burst into glorious bloom in your garden.
