Broad-Leaf Evergreens 
ITH few exceptions, no grounds, either small 
or extensive, should be without some repre- 
sentative of this rich and interesting group 
of plants. They endure shade, and their rich blossom 
and foliage effect makes them almost indispensable. 
Certain varieties of this class, such as Rhododen- 
drons, Azaleas, and Laurel, ordinarily grow more 
satisfactorily and show to better advantage when 
planted in rather heavy masses. A deep, cool, moist 
subsoil, with proper drainage, is ideal. As a rule, 
they dislike lime, or limestone soil, and success will 
be more certain on such soils if they are planted in 
woods earth or mulched with peat moss. Oak leaves 
are ideal for covering the ground beneath them.
