Broad-leaved Evergreens 
Listed below is some of the finest of garden material 
for use in the Temperate Zone. The plants are not only 
beautiful in themselves but many of them bear crops of 
attractive berries which not only add beauty to the winter 
landscape but provide food for the birds at a time when 
they need it most and food is scarce. 
Although attractive plants at all times, it is during the 
long days of winter that the broad-leafs bring us the most 
pleasure. The heavy foliage takes on an added richness 
and depth of color so different from the green of summer 
that the leaves almost seem to be from different plants. 
Here are specimen plants for particular settings, ideal 
shrubbery border material, hedge material, and a few 
plants for the rockery.
