A mass planting of Abelia grandiflora 
BROAD-LEAVED EVERGREENS AND SHRUBS 
We can supply large specimen plants of nearly all of the evergreens in the following list. Prices, sizes and descriptions will 
be given upon application. The plants are all carefully grown, and are in fine condition. 
Most of the plants are grown in pots, thereby increasing safety in transplanting, and with less danger of loss from removal. 
Those marked “O. G.” are taken from open ground, but lifted with balls of earth about the roots, and same wrapped in moss and 
excelsior, or burlaps. 
In this section we are particularly fortunate in the wealth of Broad-leaved Evergreen Trees and Shrubs. We can grow here 
many very desirable varieties which are not hardy in the far North, and we can also successfully bring to perfection a very large 
proportion of the hardy northern varieties. A judicious selection and planting of evergreen trees and shrubs enhances wonderfully 
the winter aspect of our grounds. Certain varieties must be given the proper exposure for them to attain satisfactory results. If 
evergreens are kept mulched with well-rotted leaves, this prevents the rapid evaporation of moisture from the soil, and also protects 
the roots from sudden changes of temperature. 
It is advisable to partially defoliate nearly all Broad-leaved Evergreens lifted from open ground. This will lessen the loss from 
transplanting, as many trees die if transplanted with all of the leaves left on. This is especially so as to Magnolias, Photinias, 
Crataegus and I.igustrums.
