EVERGREENS 
N the following pages are arranged alpha- 
betically the really choice, showy kinds. 
No plants in gardens are easier to care for, once 
planted on suitable sites. There is, indeed, little 
one can do to improve them—even were labor 
and expense limitless! 
Their very name tells the treatment: Broad ever- 
green leaves transpire water constantly, so extra 
moisture is needed when planting and all year. 
Mulching helps conserve soil moisture. All easy 
to grow:—Acid-soil kinds, however, must have 
acid soil noted by * in table below. For these, 
see under RHODODENDRONS (page 35).
