E who live in the eastern United States are forunate to have a 

group of plants that enjoy the acid soil that exists generally. 
This group is known as the broad-leaved evergreens. 
Our gardens are benefited extensively because of the delightful mem- 
bers of this group of evergreens. With their permanent year round 
broad green foliage, they have many uses in pleasing contrasts with 
other types of evergreen plantings. Many also are low in growth and 
make handsome edges or borders or creeping ground-covers. Most all 
of them thrive happily in partial or deep shade and fill that needed 
want of something to grow on the north side or under tall trees or in 
shaded areas where many plants are less likely to succeed. In addition, 
many have beautiful and showy flowers.
