24638. ILEX CORNUTA. Chinese Holly. From northern China. Presented by Rev. J. M. 

 W. 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 o paca , its attractive, lustrous foliage and 

 bright-colored fruits render it a fine winter ornamental for the southern half of 

 the United States. It will grow somewhat farther north on the Pacific coast and in 

 the eastern quarter of the country. Most of these plants are seedlings but a few 

 are rooted cuttings from pistillate plants. (Chico, Calif.))
