Broad-leaved Evergreen Trees, Shrubs and Vines. 
The broad-leaved Evergreens are especially interesting, most varieties having beautiful flowers and berries. 
The fact that some of them are of slow growth and exacting in 
their requirements has discouraged their general use by planters. 
With a little care anyone may grow them. 
The Azalea, Enonymns Japonica, Heather, English Holly, Mag¬ 
nolia grandiflora, and some varieties of Rhododendron, thrive best 
when shaded in winter, and they should not suffer from drought 
in summer. We grow them in the open, the same as corn, and 
place a few pine or cedar boughs around them in winter. On the 
north side or sheltered corner of a house they do well, and are a 
constant pleasure during the winter, when other broad-leaved plants 
are leafless. 
The following are suitable for the lawn, also for forest glades 
and along woodland drives, for in the latter places they find their 
natural home.
