BROAD-LEAVED EVERGREENS 
B. F. Barr Nurseries 
Beautiful Broad-Leaved Evergreen Shrubs 
These splendid plants hold their bright green fo¬ 
liage all the year round and many varieties make 
a magnificent showing of bloom. Shaded situations 
are preferred by most of the varieties, giving them 
an added value in making them available for plant¬ 
ing about the north foundation of houses or shady 
corners. Prefer acid soil.

How To Treat The Soil For Azaleas 
and Rhododendrons 
The Rhododendrons we list are nursery- 
grown, and acclimated, and have had 
the benefit of careful transplanting by 
which they have gained root systems 
which will cause them to make better 
growth than ordinary collected or poorly 
grown plants. 
Rhododendrons (and Azaleas) require 
acid soil. For best results, plant in a mix¬ 
ture of three parts leaf mould or Holland 
Peat to one part soil. In limestone local¬ 
ities one pound aluminum sulphate to each 
square yard of surface broadcast Spring 
and Pall, will prove beneficial in acidify¬ 
ing the soil.
