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 
Rhododendrons and Azaleas require an 
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 broadeast Spring 
and Fall, will prove ‘beneficial in acidify- 
ing the soil. 
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. 

AZALEAS 
(Also see Deciduous Azaleas under Ornamental 
Shrubs, Page 28.) 
Few flowering plants can excel the Azaleas for all 
around usefulness. They make a most brilliant color 
display, either singly or in groups, and can be used 
to good advantage in brightening the foundation 
planting, doing well among other evergreens.
