doors in winter at Philadelphia when 
well protected. 
There has come into general cultiva- 
tion of late years another one of ever- 
green character, Ilex crenata, also from 
Japan. It has small, neat, pretty leaves, 
grows bushy, and quickly, too, but, un- 
fortunately, its berries are black. Had 
they been red the demand for it would 
be much greater than it is today. 
There is in the Southern States a 
pretty evergreen holly. Ilex cassine, but 
it cannot be planted outside of that lo- 
cation. 
Besides these of evergreen nature 
there are many of deciduous character, 
known to many under the name of 
Prinos, one of them, the verticillatus, 
is a common shrub of the Northern 
States, and it, too, finds itself called on 
for Christmas decorations, and, as with 
the evergreen sorts, one must be care- 
ful that a berried plant be selected for 
planting. Joseph Meehan.
