lex  •  The  Hollies 
The  berried  twigs  are  familiar  decorations  at 
Christmas  time,  but  most  people  do  not  know  what 
splendid  ornaments  the  trees  are  in  open  or  collec- 
tive planting.  Their  foliage  is  always  beautiful, 
the  flowers  small  but  interesting,  and  the  scarlet 
fruits  are  ornamental.  The  flowers  being  unfertile 
in  themselves,  it  is  necessary  to  plant  several  trees 
near  each  other  to  be  sure  of  berries. 
Ilex  aquifolium.  English  Holly.  Dark,  glossy 
green,  prickly  leaves.  Erect  shapely  habit,  fond 
of  sandy  soils,  though  it  grows  well  in  other 
places.  Each
