J^road- l^eaf C'Vercjreem 
Not many home-owners know what this title means! Think of the hollies and the laurels as ex¬ 
amples. We should sorely miss the glossy green foliage of the Broad-leaved Evergreens in early spring, 
the deeper colors of summer, and the cheerful contrast they give to dull winter scenes. They may 
be used around the house foundations, planted with tall evergreens or in the shrub border. You will 
be delighted with their beauty all the year—and you will like the plants we supply. 
BGrB means the roots ore in a ball of earth wrapped in burlap—the safest and 
best way of moving all Evergreens. 
Abelia - Bush Arbutus 
Abelia grandiflora. Few shrubs are of greater 
value than the Abelias for planting at house 
foundations, for specimens about the yard, 
or grouped in corners or curves of walks and 
drives. The dainty blush-white flowers come 
in late May or June and continue until frost. 
While not "evergreen" the rich green foliage 
has a special charm, as it remains most of 
the year.

Berberis - Holly Barberry 
Berberis iticitolia. Semi-evergreen foliage that 
resembles that of the Holly, takes on a red¬ 
dish cast in the fall, and does not drop until 
the new leaves appear. Very hardy, defying 
our most severe winters. 5 to 6 feet.

Buxus - Boxwood 
Buxus sempervirens. The old English Bush Box, 
with its shiny green foliage, is a plant that 
can be used in many ways. As a hedge it 
it gives character to every place; in an in¬ 
formal group it has no rivals; it may be 
clipped or trained to pyramid form, globe 
shapes, or allowed to grow naturally. Box is 
used freely in window-boxes, urns, and for 
garden edgings. They should be planted in 
good soil and fed with Driconure (see inside 
back cover page) or cow-manure. Cultivate 
lightly and do not disturb the roots.

Euonymus - Evergreen Wahoo 
Euonymus patens. Introduced recently from China. 
Splendid foundation groups, growing well in. 
shade. Grows 3 to 4 feet high, with green stems! 
and dark green leaves which remain all winter. 
The greenish white flowers are small, but the 
wealth of coral-red berries (similar to the na¬ 
tive bittersweet) make the plant very showy.

Ilex - Holly 
Ilex crenata rotundifolia. Roundleaf Japanese 
Holly. We think this superior to I. crenata in 
that the leaves are larger, rounder, and darker. 
A compact, dwarf plant excellent for founda¬ 
tion work. Each 
2 to 21/; ft.$2.50 
11/2 to 2 ft. 2.00 
I. glabra. Inkberry. A rather loose-growing ever¬ 
green shrub which will succeed either in the 
shade or sun. Leaves turn a somewhat pur¬ 
ple shade in the fall. When planted in mass 
the shining black berries are most effective. 
Each 
2 to 21/2 ft.$2.50 
1 1/2 to 2 ft. 2.00 
I. opaca. Everyone knows the native Holly with 
its large, glossy leaves and red berries. It is 
not appreciated as it should be, for it can 
be sheared into compact specimens like Box¬ 
wood or left to develop naturally into a bush 
or small tree that is wonderful at all seasons 
of the year. Those who have seen the great 
Hollies in Cave Hill Cemetery, Louisville, 
need no other description. Some plants do 
not bear berries. Nursery-grown plants are 
comparatively easy to transplant it plant¬ 
ing directions are followed. Each

Pyracantha—Firethorn 
Pyracantha - Firethorn 
Pyracantha coccinea lalandi. Has small, 
dark green leaves on upright branches 
with very few laterals. The flowers 
are inconspicuous in June, but are 
followed by large clusters of bright 
orange berries that adhere most of 
the winter. Very showy and pleas¬ 
ing.

ful, and desirable. Each

Mahonia 
(Oregon Holly-Grape) 
Mahonia aquifolium. The thick, glossy leaves 
resemble Holly, but are much larger and far 
more attractive. Makes a compact bush, 
and when cut to the ground every few years 
will become an indescribable mass of green 
and bronze foliage. Yellow blossoms in June 
followed by blue berries. Thrives in shade 
especially. Each

Nandina 
Nandina domestica. A semi-evergreen with 
numerous, upright, reedlike stems. Each 
cane has a tuft of spreading foliage, clear 
green except the very young growth, which 
is tinted pink to copper. In August, white 
panicles of flowers appear, followed by 
masses of red berries in trusses. In autumn, 
strong, coppery tints cover the foliage, mak¬ 
ing it a most pleasing combination. While 
not entirely evergreen, it is nearly so.

Viburnum 
Leather-Leaf Viburnum 
Viburnum rhytidophyllum. In the whole group 
of Broad-leaved Evergreens no "new" plant 
has proved so valuable as this Viburnum 
with its mass of leathery, dark green foli¬ 
age. It is hardy, withstands exposure, and 
is exceptionally desirable for city planting. 
Clusters of yellowish white flowers in May 
and June are followed by red and black 
fruits in late summer. The growth resem¬ 
bles that of Rhododendrons, but the leaves 
are not glossy, nor does the plant require 
acid soil.
