On the following pages are arranged alphabetically 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 some. 
Their very name tells the treatment: Broad evergreen 
leaves transpire water constantly, so extra moisture is needed 
when planting and all year. Mulching helps conserve soil 
mixture. All easy to grow—Acid-soil kinds, however, must 
have acid soil. .
