HOLLY (Ilex) 



We consider the Holly one of the very best ornamental 

 trees or shrubs. Nothing is prettier than one of our Ameri- 

 can Hollies with great clusters of bright red berries and 

 dark green leaves shining above the snow in winter. The 

 nurseryman who will grow a collection of Hollies to a speci- 

 men size will have something he can sell, whether times are 

 good or whether they are bad. There is always a demand 

 for them, and there will be as long as any other plants will 

 sell. We know you who took our advice five years ago to 

 plant Holly will confirm this. 



We have many more varieties in small lots than are 

 listed here. 



Each 10 100 1000 

 Aquifolium (English Holly). This is not as hardy as the 

 American Holly (Ilex opaca) but can safely be planted 

 from New Jersey southward. The foliage is a bright glis- 

 tening green and the berries are larger than the American. 

 A very beautiful Holly.
