Broad-leaved Evergreens 
B. F. BARR NURSERIES 
Broad-Leaved Evergreen Shrubs 
These splendid plants hold their rich green foliage all the year round and many 
varieties make a magnificent showing of bloom. Shaded situations are preferred by 
most of the varieties, giving them an added value in making them available for planting 
about the north foundation of houses or shady corners. Prefer acid soil. 
ABELIA GRANDIFLORA always appeals in 
the foreground of plantings or in masses by itself. 
Flowers from midsummer until freezing weather.
