Broad Leaved Evergreen Shrubs. 
T HE great beauty of the broad leaved evergreens makes them most valuable for gardening 
purposes. Many are among our most spectacular and gorgeous flowering shrubs, while 
their broad, attractive leaves show out most effectively during the portion of the year when 
many trees and plants are without foliage. There is practically no end of 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.
