Excerpt from The Cultivated Evergreens: A Handbook of the Coniferous and Most Important Broad-Leaved Evergreens Planted for Ornament in the United States and Canada The subject of evergreens possesses no close cohesion, although it is recognized as a department of knowledge and practice in horticultural usage. The subject suggests conifer ous plants, and these are the ones here chiefly intended. The reader must understand that the phrase coniferous plants, or Coniferae, as currently used, includes other species than those that bear true cones; some of them, as junipers and yews, yield soft berry-like fruits. These plants agree in certain essential floral or sexual characters, rather than merely in the fact of bearing cones, as also in anatomical structure and evolutionary history; they are properly known as gymnosperms. In the northern part of the country there are no evergreen trees aside from the gymnosperms, but there are a good number of broad-leaved non-deciduous species of the stature of shrubs and subshrubs. The more prominent of these plants are covered in the book. They are mostly flowering evergreens. Being attractive by their blossoms as well as by their foliage; these are various heaths, rhododendrons, laurels, and their kin, and honeysuckles. Others are typically berry ever greens, as hollies, cherry-laurels, Viburnums, cotoneaster, and pyracantha.
