BROAD-LEAVED EVERGREEN 
TREES AND SHRUBS. 
All of our 'broad-leaved evergreens are grown most carefully, 
and all those which are grown in open ground have been several

Unless otherwise noted all plants are from open ground. In 
this locality we are particularly fortunate in being able to grow 
such a large number of desirable broad-leaved evergreen trees 
and shrubs. We grow many kinds that are not hardy in the
