BROAD-LEAVED EVERGREENS 
This group is composed of a number of plants too often 
overlooked by many landscape architects and nursery- 
men. Some are considered difficult to transplant and 
rather hard to get started. 
We believe we have solved this problem. The growing 
habits of each variety have been studied and a definite 
growing, digging and shipping routine established. Fire 
thorn, (Pyracantha coccinea lalandi) is sold only in pots. 
EKuonymus, in variety, long thought to be, of necessity, a 
“B&B” item, is shipped “bare root” or puddled during 
most seasons. Rhododendrons are dug with the broad, 
flat ball they require. 
Broad-leaved evergreens are almost indispensable to the 
landscaper. No other plants do as well in the shade. 
None blend so well with conifers and junipers and few 
are hardier, once they are established. Most of them 
respond readily to judicious pruning and furnish effects 
unprocurable without them.
