BROAD-LEAVED EVERGREENS 
There is a distinct tendency on the part of planters in the 
South to use more Broad-leaved Evergreens, for, with a 
proper selection, the blooming season can be lengthened 
over a period of several months—from spring until midsum- 
mer. There are Broad-leaved Evergreens for every type of 
planting—tall, columnar ones where height i is desired, broad, 
symmetrical ones where medium height is desired—in fact, 
there is some sort which will fit any required place. The group, 
as a whole, has the added advantage of standing pruning ex- 
The Broad-leaved Evergreens are also 
ceptionally well.

Wise home-owners realize that a planting 
of some sort is necessary around the home. 
Such planting should not be limited to a mere 
lawn and an ordinary hedge. There are many 
beautiful trees and shrubs which cost little, 
yet add to the pleasure of the occupants as 
well as improving the appearance of the 
grounds. A few fruit trees, set at the rear of 
the house, bring added value to the property.

Evergreens which flourish in-practically all sections. Many of 
them have beautiful blooms and berries—a distinct advantage 
over the conifers. With the use of broad-leaved material one

blossoms over long periods, low-growimg or tall-growing plants, 
as the location demands.
