These broadleaf evergreen and semi-evergreen shrubs 
and vines makes the finest, most permanent, and most 
interesting plantings for partially shaded situations, 
In these plantings can be incorporated wood’s ferns, 
hardy lilies, and some perennials that require partial 
shade, which generally do not do well in ordinary 
situations. 
Because their natural habitat is a somewhat shaded 
situation, they require organic matter, such as peat 
moss, which corresponds to a forest floor, and which 
should be supplied in liberal quantities. 
If azaleas and rhododendrons are used in such a 
planting the soil should be acid, or made so. 
Ask for information at the nursery if you are inter¬ 
ested in a planting of broadleaf evergreen shrubs.
