Broad-leaved Evergreens Valuable for 
Berries, Form, and Foliage 
M ANY of these plants are introductions from Japan and have long 
hidden themselves away under burdensome Latin names, and 
consequently are not so well known or appreciated as their 
varied uses and individual charms well warrant. They are particularly 
adaptable for use with the more somber-toned conifers, where their bright 
berries or glossy leaves add a needed touch of color. 
When varieties like the Japanese Hollies, Evergreen Thorns, and Bar¬ 
berries are used in plantings with some of the Evergreens of more severe 
outline and habit like the tall Junipers, Japanese Cypress, and Arborvitses, 
they lend a feeling of freedom and lightness to a grouping which might 
otherwise appear stiff and unbending. 
Many of these plants are appropriately used in situations where it is 
especially desired to soften strict architectural forms or outlines and where 
the planting must be in keeping in tone and richness, as in the forecourt 
or formal garden; here plants in the larger sizes may be arranged in loose 
groups or in scattered masses with admirable results. Others still, like 
the Mahonias, are admirable for planting along wooded walks, and nearly 
all are appropriately combined with the finer forms of deciduous shrubs, 
as they harmonize in form and habit and continue the beauty of the plant¬ 
ing with Evergreen foliage through late fall and winter. 
Not the least of the attractions of this class of plants is their habit 
of fruiting; the rich fall and winter coloring of the berries adds just the 
needed touch of brightness and enhances the rich tones of the Evergreen 
foliage.
