ILEX OPACA CROONENBURG. We offered this plant last 



spring for the first time and it met such demand that our is 

 still not large, hence only offering in the 2 to 3 ft. size at 

 $4.50 each. 



In a mature plant, the leaves are 2^2 to SVi inches long 

 and 2 to 2V2 inches wide, having about 7 to 9 spines of a 

 very dark green, not having the usual yellowish tint found in 

 the most familiar American Hollies. It bears berries from 

 cuttings almost continuously, as three year old plants this 

 year had branches weighed down with the growth. In a 

 field of several thousand you could not see one plant without 

 berries.
