Broadleaf Evergreens—Continued 
Mahonia Japonica (Leather-leaf Holly Grape). 
Perhaps the most effective of the Mahonia family. 
Leaves are large, compound, with 9 to 10 spiny 
leaflets of a bright, shiny green. Flowers yellow 
followed by bluish black fruit. 
Nandina Domestica. Here is a shrub from Japan 
that has gained immense popularity all over the 
South where it has been planted. Of very graceful 
upright habit of growth, in the spring the foliage 
is light green and has tiny white blossoms; in the 
fall the foliage turns a fiery'red, followed with 
bunches of red berries in profusion. 
Evergreens Are Easy to Grow If You 
Follow These Directions 
The hole for planting an evergreen should be at least one 
foot larger than the ball of earth and deep enough to allow 
placing the tree slightly deeper than it stood in the nursery. 
Place the tree in the hole, loosen and pull back the burlap 
covering and fill the hole three-quarters full of good soil. 
Firm it well. Fill once or twice with water and allow it 
to soak into the ground before putting on any more soil. 
A slight basin or depression should be left to facilitate later 
waterings. Water evergreens freely throughout the sum¬ 
mer. A mulch of straw or peat will prove highly beneficial.
