EVERGREBH SHRUBS 
BROAD LEIATED SVBRGRESNS 
Under broad-leaved evergreens are classed all shrubs 
retaining their foliage during the winter months* 
Por olty planting, in many Instances, they have given 
better results than the coniferous evergreens* Many 
varieties of evergreens lend beauty, both with bloom 
and luxuriant evergreen foliage* Most of these 
broad-leaved sorts prefer shade* 
These evergreens may be used effectively in a 
number of looations-—as a background, in masses 
along foundations, intermingled with blooming plants 
such as shrubs and perennials, or arranged in natural¬ 
istic treatments of shrubs and conifers* Only a few 
of these plants are ever affected by insects or dis¬ 
eased with various blights. Those marked (*) thrive 
best in an acid soil in shady looations* Good treat¬ 
ment will produce the happiest results for you* It 
is well to plant these broad-leaved types in leaf- 
mold or peat, and once a year apply a small amount 
of Aluminum Sulphate* One pound is sufficient to 
treat five square feet.
