 Georgia to Massachusetts. 



VIGOROUS HOLLY SEEDLINGS 



IloUy trees are somewhat unusual. as far as ornamental plants 

 are concerned because the male and female tiowers are on sepa- 

 rate trees. Thus, only the female trees produce the well-known 

 bright red holly berries. The male trees are needed for pollina- 

 tion and their leaves have the same beauty as female trees. 



These seedlings are about 12 to 16 inches tall and have a 

 sturdy root system. There are about half male and half female 

 trees in each shipment. Under proper conditions these plants will 

 lapidly develop into fine trees that are a valuable addition to any 

 planting. Hollies prefer a moist, acid soil.

 standing feature is the production of fine, large berries that are of a brilliant red color. This
