ILEX— HOLLY 



In the whole of the temperate zone there is no more beau- 

 tiful or useful evergreen than our native common holly. As a 

 large shade bearing shrub or small tree no better species could 

 be employed. Also with box and yew it stands unrivalled for 

 hedge-making. For specimen plants we know of nothing pret- 

 tier. Usually the sexes are on different plants, thus accounting 

 for some bushes not bearing. Our stock of some varieties is 

 limited, therefore suggest ordering as early as possible. 



ILEX Aquifolium (English Holly). Bright rich red berries on plants 

 with foliage a glistening glossy green which looks as if it had 

 been varnished. The berries are much larger than those of the 

 American Holly. Hardy here but not dependably hardy farther 

 north. 12 to 15 in. 65c each, 3 for $1.75. 



ILEX Aquifolium Argentea. The silver variegated Holly. Bears 

 berries freely. 8 inch $1.00 each, 3 for $2.50; 15 to 18 in. $2.00
