Farnham. This holly has spiny, dark-green, glossy leaves, and in winter 
is loaded with clusters of scarlet berries. While it does not make as 
symmetrical a crown as does the native Christmas holly, Ilex opaca, its 
attractive foliage and bright-colored fruits render it a fine winter 
ornamental for the southern half of the United States. (Chico, Calif.)

58395. INCARVILLEA GRANDIFLORA BREVIPES. Bignoniaceae. From Yunnan, 
China. Collected by J. F. Rock, National Geographic Society, Washington, 
D. C. A stemless plant, native to altitudes of 9,500 to 12,000 feet, in 
the mountains of Yunnan, where it is the first to blossom in the spring. 
The dark-green, glossy leaves are lyrate and pinnately cut, while the large

Its hardiness is undetermined; it should be tried as far north as New York.
