BROADLEAF EVERGREENS 
Andromedas, Kalmias, Leucothoe, 
Rhododendrons, etc. 
No ornamentals hcrve become more deservedly popular than 
the Broadleaf Evergreens. Their beauty of flower and foliage prom¬ 
ises added possibilities in the landscaping of your grounds. 
All of the species that we list — and most of them are natives of 
the United States — are perfectly hardy as far north as Quebec, if 
given proper soil conditions and exposure or location. 
Mass plantings of Rhododendrons, Mountainlaurel and Andro¬ 
medas, with "filler" or "edging" plants, such as Leucothoe 
Heather, Rose Daphne and Sandmyrtle, are very desirable and 
probably show these Broadleaf Evergreens at their best. Such 
ground covers as Bearberry, Canby Pachistima and Japanese 
Pachysandra carpet the shady spaces luxuriantly. 
To successfully grow these beautiful Broadleaf Evergreens, see 
that the soil is peaty, acid and well drained. Use a permanent 
mulch of Oak or other hardwood leaves (except Maple). A north¬ 
ern exposure is desirable, otherwise overhead leafy shade is 
essential. Ferns are at home in the Rhododendron bed and edg¬ 
ings of them or of Violets, Dicentras and a host of beautiful low 
ground covers give variety and beauty. Azaleas and Berrybear¬ 
ing Shrubs may be used freely in the planting with charming 
effects. We gladly aid customers in making up satisfactory combi¬ 
nations of 'fillers" and other plant material for any proposed 
Rhododendron or Broadleaf planting.
