ILEX.   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.  The  flowers  being  unfertile  in  them- 
selves, it  is  necessary  to  plant  several  trees  near 
each  other  to  be  sure  of  berries. 
English  Holly.  Ilex  aquifolium.  Dark,  glossy 
prickly  leaves.  Erect,  shapely  habit;  fond  of  sandy 
soils,  though  it  grows  well  in  other  places. 
Each

Leucothoe 
LeucothcE  Catesbaei;  syn.  Andromeda  Ca- 
tesbaei.  Drooping  Andromeda.  A  valuable 
small  shrub  for  shady  places  and  wild  effects.  The 
oblong,  leathery  leaves  change  to  a  beautiful  bronze 
in  Autumn,  and  are  so  much  admired  that  quan- 
tities of  sprays  are  collected  from  the  native  woods 
and  sold  for  Christmas  decorations.  In  early 
Spring,  drooping  panicles  of  small,  fragrant,  white, 
wax-like  flowers  cover  it.

dense,  compact,  low  hedges.  Splendidly  suited  for 
seashore  planting.  Not  dependably  hardy  north  of

ful in  themselves,  open

None  of  the  dignity  and  simplicity  of  this  farmyard  have  been  lost  in  the  remodeling  which 
we  were  engaged  to  give  it.  Groups  of  Rhododendrons  and  other  shade  enduring  shrubbery 
were  planted  along  the  driveway,  while  beyond  the  house  the  garden  that  for  so  long  supplied 
the  vegetables  was  transformed  into  a  veritable  old-fashioned  flower  garden  that  gives  an  unin- 
terrupted succession  of  bloom.    Consult  us  when  you  go  to  "  Fix  up  the  Old  Farm."
