BENNETT HYBRIDS 
ILEX CRENATA 
See pages 14 and 15 for sizes and prices. 

These new Ilex Crenata Bennett Hybrids are natural 
crosses between Ilex Crenata Convexa, Ilex Crenata Ro- 
tundifolia and Ilex Crenata Microphylla; all of which are 
compact growers needing little or no trimming for full 
specimens or block planting. They have been selected for 
leaf type and for compactness of growth. 
Fast enough grower to make you money yet slow enough 
so it may be used around the ranch or low-foundation 
house. 
As easy as the other Crenata varieties to grow and as 
resistant to diseases and insects as most any plant. Grows 
in light or heavy soil. 
MALUS—FLOWERING CRABS 
The Flowering Crabs are among the most charming of 
spring trees. They are not only beautiful when in blossom 
but many carry most ornamental and richly-colored fruit in 
the autumn. Most of the Crab family form graceful garden 
trees of medium size. They are quite hardy and require no 
particular cultivation, thriving best in a good loam and full 
sunshine. 
For sizes and prices see page 19.
