EVERGREEN SHRUBS 
A most valuable group of large and small shrubs characterized 
by broad green leaves which remain throughout the winter. 
Many of them flower or fruit profusely and the glossy foliage 
and bright blossoms or berries contrast pleasingly with the more 
sombre coniferous evergreens. Most of these shrubs prefer acid 
soil and some shade. Mix granulated Peat Moss, described on 
page 64, with the soil in planting and use, also, as a mulch. It 
is an ideal soil conditioner for evergreen shrubs. 
Buxus sempervirens BOXWOOD
