BROADLEAF EVERGREENS — ARISTOCRATS OF THE GARDEN 
No ornamentals have become more deservedly popular than the Broadleaf Evergreens. Their beauty of flower 
and foliage promises added possibilities in the landscaping of your grounds. 
Mass plantings of Rhododendrons, Mountainlaurel and Pieris, with “filler” or “edging” plants, such as Leucothoe, 
Heather, Rose Daphne and Sandmyrtle, are very desirable and probably show these Broadleaf Evergreens at their 
best. Such ground covers as Bearberry, Canby Pachistima and Japanese Pachysandra carpet the shady places luxuri- 
antly. 
To successfully grow these beautiful Broadleaf Evergreens, see that the soil is peaty, acid and well drained. 
Use a permanent mulch of Oak or other hardwood leaves (except Maple). A northern exposure is desirable, otherwise 
overhead leafy shade is essential. Ferns are at home in the Rhododendron bed and edgings of them or of Violets, 
Dicentras and a host of beautiful low ground covers give variety and beauty. Azaleas and Berrybearing Shrubs may be 
used freely in the planting with charming effects. We gladly aid customers in making up satisfactory combinations 
of “fillers” and other plant material for any proposed Rhododendron or Broadleaf planting.
