The shrubbery has an inviting coolness about it-the thick evergreens, the hollies on which the berries are now green, the cedars and ornamental trees planted so close together that the passer-by cannot see through, must surely afford a grateful shade-a contrast with the heat of the wheat-field and the dust of the highway below.
"Hodge and His Masters"
Richard Jefferies
There is no better time for a quiet peep at the birds than the morning after a snow-storm, and no better place than the evergreens.
"Ways of Wood Folk"
William J. Long
The next instant a dark shadow swept across the opening, almost into my face, and wheeled out of sight among the evergreens.
