Broadleaf Evergreens 
ABELIA GRANDIFLORA. One of the finest ever¬ 
greens. Pinkish white flowers are produced in beau¬ 
tiful sprays practically covering the bush in spring 
and autumn, with a few all summer. Excellent when 
planted around the foundation of a house, or in 
masses or hedges. 
BUXUS SEMPERVIRENS (English Boxwood). A true 
dwarf with rich deep green foliage, of dense and 
compact growth. Has no equal for edging, or in 
formal dwarf hedges. Best planted in an east ex¬ 
posure. Easily sheared into formal globes, squares, 
columns, pyramids, etc. 
COTONEASTER (Franchettii). Graceful plant whose 
dainty leaves turn a bronzy red in winter. Its bright 
red berries at that time make it most desirable among 
heavier types of evergreens. 6 feet. 
ELEAGNUS. Beautiful evergreen of fairly rapid 
growth and of rather spreading habit, with silvery- 
gray foliage and yellowish, fragrant flowers in 
autumn. Branches are a frosty green color with 
brownish mottling. 8 feet, or can be kept sheared. 
EUONYMUS JAPONICA. One of the most useful 
evergreens for all types of landscape planting— 
around the foundation, for massing effect, hedges or 
among deciduous shrubs. Is excellent as a sheared 
specimen, and will succeed in almost any situation. 
EUONYMUS PATENS. An Euonymus that should be 
more extensively used. Very hardy. Leaves turn 
bronze in autumn when it is covered with orange- 
yellow berries in interesting sprays. Can be planted 
in sun or shade and trained into a vine that will 
cling to brick or wood. 
GARDENIA FORTUNEI (Cape Jasmine). Much prized 
because of its large white, very fragrant flowers, and 
bright glossy green leaves. A glorious crop produced 
in May with a scattering of flowers through the sum¬ 
mer. Best planted in a protected spot, in well-drained 
sandy soil. 
JASMINE FLORIDUM (Yellow Jasmine). Fine spread¬ 
ing plant with arching branches, bearing bright yel¬ 
low flowers all summer. Its dainty dark, glossy 
green foliage is most handsome at all seasons of the 
year. Can be kept satisfactorily sheared for the small 
planting, or allowed to spread out gracefully in large 
extensive masses. 
LAUROCERASUS CAROLINIAN A (Cherry Laurel). 
This fine plant makes a very large, handsome speci¬ 
men, especially when sheared. Given room it will 
spread out into a broad, bushy tree. Splendid for tall 
hedges or windbreaks, and screens. 
LAVANDULA, VERA (Old English Lavender). A low, 
bushy round plant, whose distinctive gray color 
makes a pleasing accent in front of taller plants, and 
at porch steps. Withstands drouth well. Spikes of 
lavender-colored flowers with an aromatic foliage 
come in spring. 
LEUCOPHYLLUM (Texanum. Senisa). A fine native 
evergreen with soft gray foliage growing about 5 
feet high, producing delightful orchid colored blos¬ 
soms in late summer. Its refreshing blossoms make a 
pleasing contrast among green leaved plants and 
conifers. Does best in a sunny, well-drained, lime¬ 
stone soil. 
LIGUSTRUM (Japonica). A 
large upright growing shrub 
with broad dark green foli¬ 
age much like that of a 
lilac, bearing white flowers 
in loose sprays in spring, 
and black berries in winter. 
An excellent evergreen for 
large screens or against 
large buildings. 
LIGUSTRUM LUCIDUM 
(Waxleaf). Thick, leathery, 
dark foliage with a wax-like 
sheen. This is a handsome, 
somewhat slow-growing 
broad-leaf which is excellent 
for use in foundation or 
mass plantings. 
LODENSE PRIVET (nanum 
compactum). A dwarf plant 
with small dark leaves, 
which grows so compact 
that it makes an excellent 
dwarf hedge. Specimens are 
easily sheared into desired 
shapes for tubs or urns. Is 
improved by constant shear¬ 
ing. 
SPANISH BROOM. A more 
graceful, taller-growing 
type, which bears same pro¬ 
fusion of yellow pea-shaped 
flowers. Plant in ample room 
to spread out in full beauty. 
MAGNOLIA GRANDI¬ 
FLORA (Southern Magnolia). 
Most majestic and stately of 
all our broadleaved ever¬ 
green trees. Ultimate height 
of 50 feet. The leaves are a 
glossy, bright green, and 
the large, fragrant white 
flowers scattered .from April 
through August make this 
tree most conspicuous. To 
reach its full dignity, should 
be planted in rich soil with 
ample room.
