BROADLEAF EVERGREENS 
Andromedas, Kalmias, Leucothoe, Rhododendrons, etc. 
No ornamentals have become more deservedly popular than 
the Broadleaf Evergreens. Their beauty of flower and foliage 
promises 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 An¬ 
dromedas, 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 es¬ 
sential. Ferns are at home in the Rhododendron bed and edgings 
of them or of Violets, Dicentras and a host of beautiful low ground 
covers give variety and beauty. Azaleas and Berrybearing Shrubs 
may be used freely in the planting with charming effects. We 
gladly aid customers in making up satisfactory combinations of 
“fillers” and other plant material for any proposed Rhododendron 
or Broadleaf planting. Each 10 100
