Broadleaf Evergreens 
No part of our country has so great a group of Broadleaf Evergreens as the Southern 
States. For foliage and for flowers, for brilliant berries that bring the birds, for hedges 
and for screens, these Broadleafs are unsurpassed. No grounds have too many, and few 
have enough. Use them freely for flowers, fragrance, and foliage. 
BOXWOOD • Buxus 
COMMON BOXWOOD. Buxus semper- 
virens. One of the most useful low shrubs 
for an ornamental hedge, for edging walks, 
drives, and garden paths. It grows par¬ 
ticularly well in our southern territory. 
TREE BOXWOOD. B. sempervirens 
arborescens. A rounded form with glossy 
bright green leaves. Very useful in formal 
plantings. It thrives in well-drained soils 
but should be protected against extreme heat 
or cold. Grows to a height of about 15 feet. 
DWARF BOXWOOD. B. sempervirens 
suffruticosa. Similar to the Tree Box¬ 
wood excepting that it rarely exceeds 4 
feet in height. It may be used for low 
hedges, borders, and in window-boxes. 
ABELIA 
ABELIA grandiflora. A beautiful shrub, 
blooming from spring to fall. Flowers white, 
strongly flushed pink. See page 8. 
GARDENIA . Jasmine 
CAPE JASMINE. Gardenia florida. Noted 
for the large, pure white flowers which are 
extremely fragrant. It is also popular 
because of the glossy rich green foliage 
which is retained throughout the year. 
ILEX . Holly 
AMERICAN HOLLY. Ilex opaca. The 
variety used extensively for holiday deco¬ 
rations. In landscape use it is prominent 
because of the dark green leaves and the 
red berries in fall and winter.
