Broad-Leaved Evergreens 
The Broadleaf Evergreens, especially those which flower, are invaluable for foundation planting or mass planting in the border. 
They mix pleasingly with Coniferous Evergreens or deciduous shrubs. All varieties are popular wherever grown, though care should 
be used in selection of those hardy in your vicinity. 
Azalea hinodegiri 
AZALEA 
Azalea amoena. A hardy Japanese vari¬ 
ety which ranks close to the Hinodegiri 
in popularity. Seldom over 3 ft. in 
height. Small, dark green evergreen foli¬ 
age and a profusion of purplish red 
blossoms in early Spring. All Azaleas 
are at their best when planted in partial 
shade and must have a humus, acid 
soil. To be sure you are starting right, 
use Rho-Za-Grow. See page 29. 
Azalea ledifolia alba. Pure white, 
dwarf, evergreen. 
Azalea mollis. A Chinese variety corre¬ 
sponding to our native Calendulacea. 
Blossoms vary in colors of yellow, or¬ 
ange, and red. We recommend the use 
of Rho-Za-Grow. 
Flame Azalea (Azalea calendulacea). 
While this most popular Azalea is not 
truly a broadleaf evergreen, for conveni¬ 
ence it is listed in this class. The Flame 
Azalea is a native of the Alleghany 
Mountains and is by far the choice of 
our native Azaleas. It is a taller grower 
than the Japanese varieties, blooms 
later, the blossoms varying from a 
bright yellow to orange and flame red. 
Hinodegiri Azalea. Magnificent, hardy, 
early blooming Japanese Azalea. Vig¬ 
orous grower, fine for low hedge or mass¬ 
ing. Heavy foliage. When in bloom the 
plant is almost a solid mass of bright 
carmine flowers. Remains in bloom for 
a long time. 
BERBERIS (Barberry) 
Berberis julianiae (Wintergreen Bar¬ 
berry). Evergreen. Distinct, upright 
habit of growth; leathery foliage. Prom¬ 
inent thorns along the stems. Retains 
its leaves (which turn to a very attrac¬ 
tive bronze red in the Fall) all Winter. 
Berberis verruculosa, Dwarf. Ever¬ 
green. Blooms in June; fruits in Octo¬ 
ber. Dwarf, spreading shrub with small, 
glossy green, crinkled, spiny leaves, 
glaucous beneath. Flowers yellow, fol¬ 
lowed by violet black fruits. 
Berberis wilsonae (Wilson Barberry). 
Blooms in May; fruits in September. 
Spreading, ornamental, deciduous shrub 
of dwarf habit, with numerous arching 
branches densely covered with narrow 
leaves about in. long and with long, 
thin spines all along the stems. Flowers 
a rich golden yellow, followed by coral 
red berries. Vivid red foliage in Fall. 
BOXWOOD (Buxus) 
From a large number of vari¬ 
eties of plant material for which 
Virginia gardens are noted, we 
would select the Boxwood as 
being the most conspicuous and 
most useful. Boxwood is not 
only useful in Virginia but 
throughout the South and Mid¬ 
dle Atlantic States. It has a 
place in almost every garden 
and is never out of style. 
We offer three distinct varie¬ 
ties in various sizes, the Sem- 
pervirens being the most exten¬ 
sively planted, the Suffruticosa 
being the most popular for bor¬ 
ders arid edging. 
Boxwood, Japanese. The 
fastest growing variety of 
Boxwood. Large leaf, light 
green foliage. Not so com¬ 
pact as the Sempervirens or Suffruti¬ 
cosa varieties. 
Buxus sempervirens. Well known Box¬ 
wood often referred to as Standard Box¬ 
wood. Medium grower, compact. Is 
used as specimens, in hedges, and in 
borders. Stands shearing but due to its 
natural, uniform, compact growth, 
shearing is not required. 
Buxus suffruticosa. This variety is often 
referred to as Dwarf. Is a slower grower 
than the Sempervirens variety and 
makes a flatter, more compact speci¬ 
men. This variety is especially suitable 
for borders where a slow growing plant 
is required. 
Boxwood properly used is not only an 
ornament, but a good investment 
COTONEASTER 
Cotoneaster horizontalis 
Cotoneaster) . Low 
plants with small, shiny 
bright berries that remain 
on the branches well into 
the Winter. Very choice 
for rock gardens and fore¬ 
ground of evergreen beds. 
Cotoneastermicrophylla. 
Resembles Horizontalis, 
but is more dwarf and has 
smaller foliage. Ideal for 
small rock gardens. 
Cotoneaster pannosa. A 
beautiful hardy shrub, 
evergreen in the South. 
Leaves small, silvery be¬ 
neath, green above. Flow¬ 
ers white followed by red 
fruits. 
Franchet Cotoneaster 
(Cotoneaster fran- 
che ti) . A handsome shrub 
of great popularity. Up¬ 
right growth with arching 
branches; bears numerous 
small, pink flowers 
throughout Winter.

DAPHNE 
Daphne cneorum (Garlandflower). 
Dwarf, flat plant with small foliage. 
Wiry, little stems tipped with dense 
clusters of rose pink, fragrant flowers. 
ELAEAGNUS 
Elaeagnus pungens (Russian-olive). 
A very hardy and a most useful Broad¬ 
leaf Evergreen. Large, pointed, dark 
green leaves, silvery underneath. Useful 
as a specimen. 
ENGLISH LAUREL 
English Laurel (Laurocerasus offici¬ 
nalis). One of the most rapid growing 
Laurels. Large, dark green foliage re¬ 
sembling Rhododendron and is beauti¬ 
ful throughout the Winter. Especially 
useful as a foundation plant where sun¬ 
shine is plentiful and quick growth is 
desired. 
EUONYMUS 
Euonymus japonica. A well known, up¬ 
right Broadleaf Evergreen retaining its 
dark glossy green color throughout the 
Winter. Red berries appear in Autumn 
and hang on until Midwinter. 
Euonymus japonica variegated. Dif¬ 
fers from Euonymus japonica by its sil¬ 
very, variegated foliage and growing 
more pyramidal and compact. 
Euonymus patens. Claimed by many to 
be the best Euonymus grown. A flat, 
more spreading type than Japonica, foli¬ 
age of a lighter green and more or less 
deciduous. Makes a beautiful shrub, es¬ 
pecially during the Fall, when covered 
with masses of orange red berries. 
Euonymus pulchellus. A beautiful 
small leaved, compact plant somewhat 
resembling Dwarf Boxwood. Useful for 
edging in small beds. Slow grower. 
If you are not certain of 
your soil being in proper 
condition, have it tested, 
and if found to be deficient 
in humus and acidity, add 
sufficient Rho-Za-Grow to 
correct same.
