Sowed Comparena 
Broad-leaved evergreens include a group of shrubs and perennials that in more favorable climates hold their leaves the 
year around. However, in this section, most of them shed when sub-zero weather comes, but leaf out again in early spring. 
Besides those listed below, Teucrium and Santolina (See page 3), are often listed as broad-leaved evergreens. 
EVONYMOUS 
PATENS 
ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE 
AND JUSTLY BECOMING THE 
MOST POPULAR BROAD-LEAVED 
EVERGREEN FOR FOUNDATION 
PLANTING OR FOR CLIPPED 
HEDGES. 
FOR SHRUBS 
EUONYMOUS PATENS—When used as_ shrubs (as 
above) they form dense, compact bushes with leathery, 
glossy, dark vivid green leaves usually retained through- 
out most of the winter. Clusters of white flowers in 
July. Magnificent with its scarlet-red berries when in 
full fruit in late fall or early winter. Valuable to use in

glossy pointed leaves, turning a rich purple in winter. Will 
grow in sun or shade. Useful for softening down corners

ground cover in shady situations.

MENTOR BARBERRY—Although we have Mentor Barberry 
listed among the shrubs on page 28 (bare-root plants), it is 
also often classed as a Broad-Leaved Evergreen and lends 
itself admirably as such. However, for immediate effect as 
a Broad-Leaved Evergreen it should be balled and burlapped 
so that it will not have to be cut back when planted. When 
these shrubs are moved balled and burlapped they start much 
easier and are well worth the extra cost as only specimen 
shrubs are used for this purpose. BALLED AND BURLAP- 
PED SPHCIMENS: 15 to 18 in., $2.50 each; 18 to 24 in., $3.00 
each; 24 to 30 in., $3.50 each. 


VELVET GRASS 
An excellent lawn grass that we have been growing and 
testing now for more than twelve years. 
It makes a rich, bright green lawn of such fine texture 
that it resembles velvet. It grows best in full sun and with- 
stands heat and drought. 
It is sold by the square foot of sod. (Cannot be planted 
from seed.) When planted according to instructions, each 
square foot of sod will plant from 20 to 50 square feet of 
lawn area, depending upon the method of planting and how 
close it is planted. It should be planted in MAY or JUNE 
and usually becomes a solid lawn by July or August. OUR 
SUPPLY IS VERY LIMITED. Order yours early to be sure 
it will be shipped at the proper time in May.

SMALLER PLANTS FOR HEDGES 
EUONYMOUS PATENS—When planted 6 inches apart in 
a double staggered row and kept sheared or boxed, 
forms one of the most beautiful low hedges that is ex- 
cellent for edging formal flower beds, or anywhere a 
low hedge is needed. Will grow in full shade or sun. 
The above photograph, taken at the Nelson Art Gallery 
in Kansas City, shows an excellent example of the use 
of Euonymous Patens as a low clipped hedge.
