On the following five pages are arranged alphabetically the really showy, choice kinds. No planis 
in gardens are easier to take care of when once planted in really suitable sites. There is, indeed, 
little one can do to improve them at all—even were expense and labor limitless. But by their very 
nature—having a broad evergreen leaf—there are certain general notes to be made as to treat- 
ment. First, the leaves constantly transpire moisture so when first transplanted frequent heavy 
waterings are needed to provide for this transpiration. Transpiration goes on all winter, sometimes 
when moisture in the ground is frozen, for which reason shade during the part of the day when 
the sun is hot and ground not yet warmed is desirable—that is, in the morning. Mulching is recom- 
mended—chiefly because it conserves water in the soil. 
Much complication is made of soil needed for 
Broadleaf evergreens. It is really very simple: 
Those that need acid soil need little else. Those 
that do not need acid soil are among the most 
tolerant of cll known ornamental plants.
