CL I BRANS’ LIST OF FLOWERING SHRUBS, 1909-10. 
ILEX (Hollies). 
Without doubt, for all round purposes, the Holly is the hardiest, most effective 
and beautiful of all evergreens. Its peculiar adaptability for such a large number 
of uses, as forming hedges or specimens, render it unique in its way. Unlike many 
evergreens, it will stand severe cutting and pruning. This should, however, be 
done during April or 
September. Trans- 
planting should be 
effected during the 
month of May or in 
early autumn, the 
latter for preference. 
We are desirous of 
drawing the atten- 
tion of all lovers 
and admirers of 
evergreens to the 
splendid collection 
of Hollies that is 
contained in our 
Nurseries, ranging 
in height from small 
seedlings up to large 
beautifully - formed 
specimens io to 14 
feet in height. To 
the growing and 
training of speci- 
men Hollies we have 
devoted every care 
and attention for 
many years, with 
the result that we 
have what is pro- 
bably the finest 
stock in the King- 
dom. 
Large numbers of 
these are trained in 
pyramid form, possess- 
ing strong erect leaders 
and clothed with fine 
healthy vigorous foli-

been carefully and regularly transplanted, thus ensuring their lifting with large balls of fibrous 
roots. We particularly invite inspection of these plants.
