BROADLEAF EVERGREENS 
Modern Home-Plantings cannot be considered as complete—or hardly begun—if they do not contain a liberal 
supply of Broadleaf Evergreens. They are needed for the green foliage which gives color all the year, especially 
in winter when warmth and color are demanded. There is need for them in all plantings, particularly in the Out- 
door Living Room where they lay claim in everyday beauty. 
We have an unusually large collection of Broadleaf Evergreens, The plants are frequently transplanted, care- 
fully pruned, and given plenty of space to develop into stately, vigorous and healthy specimens.

Azaleas which were used sparingly in Landscape plantings over a period of years, in the Southwest have come 
into prominent place in all types of plantings. With their Evergreen foliage, and gorgeous blooms in the early 
Spring Season, no planting is considered complete without them. 
All Azaleas require an acid soil, hence leaf-mold or Peat moss for mulching the roots should, be added over 
the surface of the plant beds Lime and alkali conditions of soil require special preparation with new acid soil. 
There are no more beautiful Flowering Shrubs than the Azaleas for the Gulf Coast area:

HOW TO CULTIVATE AZALEAS 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS: To get the best results, Azaleas should 
be planted in partly shady locations, and particular attention should 
be given to protecting them from the hot sun in summer. The soil 
should contain an abundance of leaf-mold, peat, and sand, and should 
be well-drained. Azaleas will not grow in limestone soil. 
Mulching with decayed leaves, preferably those of hardwood trees, 
is a distinct advantage. Peat is also a splendid mulch for Azalea 
beds, as it retains the moisture. Applications of aluminum sulphate 
may be necessary when leaves become yellow, which indicates that 
the soil has become impregnated with lime.
