Broadlea f Evergreens 
Aristocrats of the Garden 
No ornamentuls 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 Pachy- 
sandra carpet the shady places lururiantly. 
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 «ith charming effects. We gladly aid customers in 
making up satisfactory combinations of “fillers” and other plant material for 
any proposed Rhododendron or Broadleaf planting.
