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 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-

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,

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.

The South is indeed fortunate in its wealth of Broad-leaved 
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 
is able to get definite contrasts in color and size of foliage, 
blossoms over long periods, low-growing or tall-growing plants, 
as the location demands.

of preparation of this catalogue, and 
the labor supply is extremely short.
