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 midsummer. There are Broad-leaved Evergreens 
for every type of planting—tall, columnar ones where 
height is desired, broad, symmetrical ones where me- 
dium 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 exceptionally 
well. The Broad-leaved Evergreens are also excellent 
ABELIA

FEIIOA 
Sellowiana, Introduced from the French 
Riviera. Flowers white outside, purplish 
crimson within, with long crimson 
stamens. The upper surface of the leaves 
is glossy green, the lower surface silvery 


for the shrub border, for screening out undesirable 
views, and for use as specimen plants. There is not a 
more versatile group. 
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- ne plants, 
as the location demands.

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.
