Broadleaf Evergreens 
Broadleaf Evergreens are so termed because they are plants which have larger leaves 
than the Coniferous Evergreens. They mix pleasingly with deciduous shrubs and Coniferous 
Evergreens. With their beautiful flowers, of most varieties, in summer, and their broad 
green foliage to add a touch of cheer in winter. In extreme cold winters some varieteis 
will defoliate earlier than usual in some cases. In most cases, however, the foliage per¬ 
sists all winter. In planting it is advisable to cut off all the foliage. This insures better 
results. Prices are for plants balled and burlapped unless indicated. 
Abelia Grandiflora 
Abelia Grandiflora (Bush Arbutus). See Orna¬ 
mental Shrubs. 
American Holly (Ilex opaca). A beautiful 
evergreen tree of the South, with large glossy 
leaves and bright red berries, familiarly known as 
Christmas Holly. It works in wonderfully with 
other trees in landscape plantings. Our Southern 
gardens need more of them; they are the beauty of 
the wilds, brought to your door for constant en¬ 
joyment. 
Dwarf Boxwood (Buxus suffruticosa) . This is 
the very dwarf evergreen plant so highly esteemed 
for small hedges; for edging the borders of flower 
beds or for planting along walks. It is the very 
best plant for that purpose. Retains its dwarf 
size, never growing tall. 
Carolina Cherry Laurel (Laurocerasus caro- 
liniana). One of the most beautiful evergreens. 
Foliage is exceptionally glossy and a very rich 
green color. Naturally compact and symmetrical 
in form, it submits to shearing and can be kept in 
any form at any height. As a large shrub in foun¬ 
dation planting, or in groups, masses, borders, or 
screens, it has no superior. White flowers in 
spring. Very hady and resistant to neglect and 
abuse. 
Evergreen Wahoo (Enonymus Patens). See orna¬ 
mental shrubs. 
Pyracantha Coccinea Lanandi (Firethorn). This 
has small, dark green leaves on upright branches 
with very few laterals. The flowers are incon¬ 
spicuous in June, but are followed by large clus¬ 
ters of bright orange berries that adhere most of 
the winter. 
*Azelias and Rhododendrons. 
Glossy Privet (Ligustrum lucidum). The finest 
of all Ligustrums. Selected from among many 
thousands of imported Japanese plants, carefully 
preserved and kept to itself, we have developed the 
highly improved strain until it is a class all alone. 
In appearance it has the finest quality of any 
broadleaf evergreen, and is exceedingly hardy and 
resistant to abuse. The foliage is deep rich green, 
almost black. The leaves are very thick, beauti¬ 
fully shaped, and glisten as though polished. 
Japanese Spurge (Pachysandra terminalis). A 
low-growing evergreen hardy plant with glossy 
dark green foliage resembling Laurel. Flourishes 
in dense shade or sun and is without question the 
best of all evergreen ground cover plants. Ever¬ 
green winter and summer. Hardy under all condi¬ 
tions. Disease free. Even height of six inches. 
Gives beneficial protection to roots of aged and 
undernourished trees. Splendid as edging for your 
evergreens. 
Magnolia. See Ornamental Trees. 
Mahonia Aquifolia (Oregon Holly Grape). Hand¬ 
some native evergreen, medium size shining, prickly 
leaves and showy. Bright yellow flowers in May 
followed by bluish berries. Very useful in decora¬ 
tive planting for its neat habit and bronze-green 
leaves. 
Mahonia Aquifolia 
* These simply will not thrive in limestone soil. It is necessary to remove dirt and fill in with leaf 
mold or rotted wood, some acid material. Apply sulphate of amonia, one to three pounds sprinkled 
over each square yard of surface and spaded in. We do not grow but will order plants for our customers 
when requested.
