HIOHLANDS NVRSERV, LINVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, U. S. A. 13 
« ILEX OPACA (American Holly). 
This is without doubt one of the most beautiful and indispensable of all evergreens in 
landscape work. The growth is thick and heavy, assuming a dense, picturesque, cone 
shape, while the sharp, prickly foliage is always in most beautiful contrast to the sur- 
rounding leafage or the winter aspect of lawn and park, and forms a conspicuous back- 
ground for the brilliant scarlet berries which cover it in fall and early winter. This 
b^jautlf ul Holly is always in demand, and I would call the special attention of all nursery- 
men and planters to our heavy stock of fine plants.
