Broadleaved 
EVERGREENS 
The South is indeed fortunate in the wealth of broadleaved evergreens 
which flourish in practically all sections of it. Many of the broadleaved 
evergreens have beautiful blooms and berries—a distinct advantage over 
the conifers. With the use of broadleaved material one is able to get definite 
contrasts in color and size of foliage; blossoms over long periods; low grow¬ 
ing or tall growing plants, as the location demands. 
There is a distinct tendency on the part of planters in the South to use 
more broadleaved evergreens. Many of the broadleaved evergreens 
bloom and are a source of great satisfaction at blooming time. The bloom¬ 
ing season can, by proper selection, be lengthened over a period of several 
months from spring until midsummer. There are broadleaved evergreens 
fpr every type of planting—tall columnar ones for planting where height 
is desired, broad symmetrical ones which can be used for places of medium 
height—in fact, there is some broadleaved evergreen which will fit any 
required place. The group as a whole has the added advantage of standing 
pruning exceptionally well. 
The broadleaved evergreens are also excellent for the shrub border, for 
screening out undesirable views, and for use as specimen plants. There 
is not a more versatile group.
