EVERGREEN SHRUBS 
We consider that Evergreen Shrubs are to the home landscape 
what fine architectural detail is to the house. In other words, this 
valuable group of plant material is especially useful for putting 
the finishing touches on the entire planting. A natural grove of 
Oaks and Hickories may be made even more inviting the year 
around with groups and masses of Holly, Laurel, Andromeda and 
Inkberry. The beauty of an evergreen windbreak can be en¬ 
hanced to a large extent by feathering down with this same 
type of plant. 
Evergreen gardens, composed of evergreen shrubs and oc¬ 
casional splashes of bright-hued barks and berries will cheer up 
much of winter’s drab landscape. Long Island and other points 
of similar climate are most fortunate in being able to grow hap¬ 
pily a large variety of evergreen shrubs. They should be well 
represented in the gardens of every year-around home. 
In the foundation planting, the evergreen shrub plays an im¬ 
portant part. Not only does it remain green and cheerful all 
winter, but in many cases produces flowers at various seasons. 
Many of the evergreen shrubs are of low to medium height and 
will stay in scale for a number of years.
