Broad'Leaved Evergreens 
Winter does not rob these shrubs of their handsome foliage. In fact, it is in the 
Winter when the glossy, glittering green of their leaves shows up to best advantage 
against snow and frost. But, in addition, most of them are highly valued for beautiful 
flowers, particularly Daphne, Kalmia, and Rhododendron. With few exceptions these 
plants enjoy half-shady places and deep, moist, but well-drained, leaf-mold soil.

with thick, long, pointed, deep green 
foliage tinged with crimson on the
