de demand for the broad-leaved evergreens is increasing 
each year. Here is one class of plants that rises above all the others 
in the aristocratic sense. The marvelous foliage and flowers of our 
broad-leaved evergreens and the ability of these plants to flourish 
in New England make them the most preferred items in the plans 
of well-designed home gardens. Some of the broad-leaved ever- 
greens are slightly more expensive because they are slower-growing 
during the early stages, but an investment in a broad-leaved ever- 
green is one that guarantees many years of gardening pleasure. 
Since climatic conditions in New England are ideal for plants in 
this group, we highly recommend them for all conditions where 
shade predominates as well as in full sunlight. Profusion of flower 
color may be realized from early spring until late June by combin- 
ing Rhododendron varieties with Japanese Andromeda, Mountain 
Andromeda, Drooping Leucothoe and Mountain Laurel. And for 
foliage contrast and along foundation walls where building lines are 
ugly, interplant with spreading Yews and Junipers. Our selection 
of broad-leaved evergreens represents a large percentage of the 
Hopkinton nursery and it is our belief that these plants are the 
finest to be had.
