Broad Leaved Evergreen Shrubs. 
T HE great beauty of the broad leaved evergreens makes them most valuable for gardening pur¬ 
poses. Many are among our most spectacular and gorgeous flowering shrubs, while their 
broad, attractive leaves show out most effectively during the parts of the year when many 
trees and plants are without foliage. There is practically no end to the charming results that can be 
gained by the liberal use of this class of plants. Groupings generally give most attractive effects 
and the plants themselves do much better when planted this way. 
Good, fertile loam should always be used in preparing for this class of plants. Sufficient water 
should be supplied at least until they become well established so that they will not suffer from dry¬ 
ness. This does not necessarily mean frequent watering.
