The Cultivated Evergreens is a comprehensive and authoritative handbook dedicated to the selection, identification, and care of coniferous and broad-leaved evergreen plants used for ornamental purposes across the United States and Canada. Edited by the renowned horticulturist Liberty Hyde Bailey, this work serves as an essential guide for anyone interested in the enduring beauty and practical application of evergreens in landscape design.
The volume provides detailed botanical descriptions and cultural requirements for a vast array of species, ranging from towering pines and spruces to versatile broad-leaved varieties like rhododendrons and hollies. It explores the aesthetic and functional roles these plants play in garden composition, providing insights into their hardiness, growth habits, and maintenance. Whether used for privacy screens, structural accents, or year-round color, the evergreens detailed within are examined for their suitability to various North American climates.
As a significant contribution to early 20th-century American horticulture, The Cultivated Evergreens remains a valuable resource for gardeners, dendrologists, and landscape professionals. Its systematic approach and expert insights make it a cornerstone text for understanding the legacy of cultivated plants in the domestic landscape.
