HARDY EVERGREEN SHRUBS 
ART of the pleasure and j joy of a garden is to rearrange it from time to time, or 
add some new treasure to it. If your garden or foundation planting appears com- 
monplace, or has lost some of its alluring qualities to you or the visitor, may we 
suggest that you bolster its weak points with a few of our choice evergreen shrubs. 
These acid-loving plants are, in most instances, of low compact growth, each carrying 
Its own individuality. If slightly trimmed abn they may remain in the’ same lo- 
cation for many years. Their foliage is dark and glossy, remaining a rich color through- 
out the winter. 
Thriving in sun or partial shade, they become 
the most suitable plant material for city gardens, 
foundation plantings, roof gardens, etc. 
For cultural directions see Rhododendrons.
