Evergreen and Deciduous Shrubs 
Evergreen shrubs cover a wide range 
of selection in producing most pleasing 
effects. Groups of evergreen shrubs add 
wonderfully to appearance of the gardens 
in winter as they are continually green. 
No garden is altogether satisfactory with¬ 
out some provision for the evergreens.

soil and climatic conditions prevailing in 
the San Joaquin Valley, and the warmer
