a. A beautiful plant, exquisitely fragrant, and producing its flowers in 
great profusion. The juice, as well as the flowers of this plant, are poison- 
ous. Frequently called the ‘‘ Carolina Yellow Jasamine.’’ 
b. The slowness of growth of the Holly is frequently objected to. This de- 
fect is fully made up in the beautiful scarlet berries which remain on the tree 
through the winter. The seed of the Holly do not vegetate till the second 
year after being sown. Plants taken from the woods, early in the spring, 
will be found the best method for securing these beautiful native trees,
