EVERGREEN SHRUBS. 
Evergreen shrubs cover a wide range 
of selection in producing most pleasing 
effects. Groups of evergreen shrubs add 
wonderfully to appearance of the gar- 
dens in winter as they are continuously 
green. No garden is altogether satisfac¬ 
tory without some provision for the ever¬ 
greens. The following are especially 
adapted to soil and cimatic conditions 
prevailing in the San Joaquin Valley, and 
the warmer regions of the Coast.
