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 portions 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 suf- 
not necessarily mean frequent watering.
