18 Better Evergreen Shrubs eh “ 

HOLLY, RHODODENDRONS, ETC. 
The evergreen shrubs contribute greatly to the gardens of the eastern United States 
because there are a multitude of varieties for almost every conceivable purpose from 
edgings and ground covers to the mass effects such as the Mountain Laurels and the 
great treelike Rhododendron maximum provide. 
These shrubs are especially handsome grouped in the thin shade of deciduous trees 
or at the edges of woods and thickets. They make splendid borders along the founda- 
tions of houses, especially valuable on the north side and in shady places where the 
coniferous evergreens are less likely to succeed. 
Many of them combine beautifully in plantings with evergreens. The different tex- 
tures of their foliage make a delightful contrast and combine to give a pleasing effect. 
In addition to having their year ‘round foliage, many of the varieties are valuable 
because of their flowers. 
ANDROMEDA 
Like the Rhododendrons and Laurels, the Andromedas are sour-soil plants and thrive 
in partial shade. They provide charming color variations in their glossy foliage and 
ruddy winter buds and are very graceful when in flower. 
Mountain Andromeda. Pieris floribunda. 4 ft. White flowers like the Lily-of-the Valley, 
in large, drooping clusters open in late April and bloom for 4 to 5 weeks in mid- 
spring. The buds are produced in the fall and through the winter months, giving the 
appearance of being in flower. The plant makes a dwarf, round and compact shrub,
