" ROEDING'S QUALITY" 
EVERGREEN TREES 
AND SHRUBS 
In this group there are plants for every conceivable garden need. There 
are broadleaf evergreens for sun or shade, heat or cold, dry or wet loca¬ 
tions ; with flower or berry they provide brilliant color for every month 
in the year. In size they range from little sprawling things suitable for 
rock gardens to tall, spreading shade trees. Their wide use marks the 
great difference between California gardens and those of other sections. 
With their evergreen foliage they form the permanent background of 
the garden and by their continuing cheeriness year round beauty is 
assured.
