ILEX (Holl ies). 
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. Transplanting should be effected during the month 
of May or in early autumn, the latter for preference. We are desirous of drawing 
the attention 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 specimen Hollies we have devoted every care and attention for 
many years, with the result that we have what is probably the finest stock in the 
Kingdom. Large numbers of these are trained in pyramid form, possessing strong 
erect leaders, and clothed with fine healthy vigorous foliage from the apex to the 
ground line. In addition to these, we have a remarkably fine stock of large round 
bushes suitable for all situations and purposes. All our specimens have been care- 
fully and regularly transplanted, thus ensuring them lifting with large balls of 
fibrous roots. We particularly invite inspection of these plants.
