CLIBRANS’ HOLLIES— continued. 
There are no Evergreens so effective or useful as Hollies, hardy and 
beautiful at all times, withstanding the smoke of town gardens, they adapt 
themselves to a variety of purposes ; there is no better plant for hedge purposes, 
forming an impenetrable barrier, than the Holly, whilst as a specimen it is ideal. 
Further, it is one of the few evergreens that will withstand severe cutting and 
pruning ; this, however, should be done in April or September. Transplanting, 
assuming the weather is not excessively dry, is best done during May, or in early 
autumn. 
Particular attention is invited to our specimen Hollies, description fails to 
convey an adequate impression of their development. Clothed with foliage 
from base to apex, trained as pyramids with sharply defined or rounded out- 
line, furnished with stout leaders, and possessing an abundance of fibrous roots, 
they cannot fail with reasonable care and attention to move safely and thrive. 
We welcome inspection of these plants. 
GREEN LEAVED HOLLIES.

hardy, rapid growing, extremely handsome variety ; an excellent smoke resister ; the 
finest of the broad-leaved type. Prices, see below.

spineless, very hardy, unaffected by smoke, medium grower ; fine as a specimen. Prices, 
see below.

spiny margin ; perfectly hardy, not affected by smoke ; robust habit ; makes a splendid 
specimen ; berries well ; one of the finest. Prices, see below.
