Broad-Leaved Evergreen Shrubs 
Called “broad-leaved” to distinguish them from the coniferous evergreens which have needle or 
scale-like leaves. The liberal use of the broad-leaved evergreens gives a house an atmosphere of com¬ 
fort and hospitality. In the South we can enjoy the year-round effects which they will produce. 
They will thrive in most any well-drained soil and as a rule prefer partial shade. All broad-leaved 
evergreens are dug with a ball of earth and burlapped. 
ABELIA 
GLOSSY ABELIA (Abelia Grandiflora). One 
of the most attractive of plants due to the 
fact that it combines a blooming shrub and 
evergreen foliage. Its graceful arching bran¬ 
ches are covered with clusters of white flow¬ 
ers, tubular shape, flushed with pink, from 
May to November. The leaves are a glossy 
green which turns to a purplish bronze in 
winter. Abelia is useful for foundation, bor¬ 
der or as a specimen. Grows in dense shade 
but does best in a sunny location. During the 
growing season it is best to pinch off the ends 
of the long shoots. This will make the plant 
dense and compact. 
2 year old, branched.$ .75 each 
3 year old, strong plants $1.00 each 
AUCUBA 
GOLDDUST AUCUBA (Aucuba Japon'ca Va- 
riegata). An ornamental shrub of medium 
height (about 3 feet) which withstands dust, 
smoke and shade. Has large dark leaves 
which are spotted and flaked with yellow.

JAPANESE AUCUBA (Aucuba Japonica). A 
very dwarf form with small leaves of a rich 
green color. Produces a profusion of bright 
red berries which ripen during the late win¬ 
ter and early spring. Grows best in the shade 
and is excellent for use in the city as it with¬ 
stands the smoke and dust. 
15 to 18 inch .$2.00 each 
AZALEA 
The most attractive flowering shrub in the 
South. They thrive in the common soil of the 
garden, but in general they require leaf mould 
or well-rotted muck to be dug in with the nat¬ 
ural soil. A good mulch of leaves or pine straw 
should be used as the Azaleas are surface feed¬ 
ers. Clay, lime and an excess of potash should 
be avoided. 
HINODEGIRI AZALEA (Azalea Hinodegiri). 
A dwarf compact Japanese Azalea with bright 
carmine flowers. The blooms are produced in 
profusion in the early spring and almost hide 
the foliage which assumes a reddish appear¬ 
ance in the fall and winter months. 
8 to 10 inches.$1.00 each 
INDICA AZALEA (Azalea Indica). A beauti¬ 
ful evergreeen shrub which is a mass of gor¬ 
geous flowers in the early spring; are per¬

ties of leaf mold have been mixed and pro¬ 
tection from the hot afternoon sun.
