BROAD-LEAVED EVERGREENS 
T he Soutli is indeed fortunate in the wealth 
of l)road-leaved evergreens which tlourish in 
practically all sections of it. Many of the 
broad-leaved evergreens have beautiful blooms and 
berries—a distinct advantage over the conifers. 
With the use of broad-leaved material one is able 
to get definite contrasts in color and size of foli¬ 
age; blossoms over long periods; low growing or 
tall growing plants as the location demands—in 
fact, broad-leaved evergreens have all the advan¬ 
tages of conifers without their disadvantages. 
There is a distinct tendency on the part of 
planters in the South to use more Broad- 
Leaved Evergreens. Many of the Broad-Leaved 
Evergreens bloom and are a source of great satis¬ 
faction at blooming time. The blooming season 
can, by proper selection, be lengthened over a 
period of several months from spring until mid¬ 
summer. There are Broad-Leaved Evergreens for 
every type of planting—tall columnar ones for 
planting where height is desired, broad symmetri¬ 
cal ones which can be used for places of medium 
height—in fact, there is some Broad-Leaved Ever¬ 
green which will fit any required place. The 
group as a whole has the added advantage of 
standing pruning exceptionally well. 
The Broad-Leaved Evergreens are also excel¬ 
lent for the shrub border, for screening out 
undesirable views, and for use as specimen plants. 
There is not a more versatile group. You will 
find listed below plants of every type and habit 
to fill any requirements you may have in your 
planting.
