GLOSSY ABELIA 
LOW EVERGREEN and 
FLOWERING SHRUBS 
The best evergreen and flowering shrubs of slow, neat, compact growth that attam a height 
of from 2 to 5 or 6 feet. Will give enduring foliage and year-round beauty in your garden. 
The height, spread, and form can be regulated by judicious pruning from time to time, so the 
plants will “fit in” with the desired effect. Good care is worth while. 
Evergreen and flowering shrub plantings near the house should consist of low, slow-growing 
material such as the narrow-leaved Hollies, Spreading Yews, Lily-of-the-Valley Shrubs, 
Evergreen Azaleas, Upright Yews, Mountain Laurel, and a ground-cover like Pachysandra or 
Myrtle. An occasional Dogwood to accent or a vine to soften may be used but otherwise the 
planting should merely tie in the grounds with the house and not hide the foundation. Find- 
ing the right plant material for foundations is a pleasant task for the home-owner.
