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, ae 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

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-growing plants, 
as the location demands.
