A SMALL INVESTMENT easuwork SURE PROFIT! 
The Aristocrat of 
... Evergreens 
Evergreen Holly Trees are 
beautiful and long-lived and 
are an ornamental asset to the 
property on which they grow. 
The greatest collection of dif¬ 
ferent Hollies is to be found 
at Kew Gardens in England, 
where the “holly walk”, begun 
in 1874, now contains about 
120 varieties. In all there are 
more than 300 species. 
HOLLY is the most used 
symbol of CHRISTMAS! 
The most perfect Holly— 
from every standpoint—is that 
known as the French Strain of 
English Holly. It grows faster 
and twice as high—its foliage 
is thick, waxy, dark green, lus¬ 
trous—the berries are in clus¬ 
ters, bright red, abundant, and 
do not drop off with ordinary 
handling. That is why we im¬ 
ported this particular type of 
Holly. 
Soon after we imported our 
trees the Government placed a 
quarantine on all living trees. 
It is not likely that anyone else 
brought this strain of Holly 
tree into the United States. 
The French Strain of En¬ 
glish Holly is bisexual and self- 
fertile, having both male and 
female blossoms on the same 
trees. With proper care this 
type of Holly ALWAYS pro¬ 
duces a thick foliage and an 
abundance of the bright red 
berries. The foliage is heavy; 
individual sprays weigh a third 
more than those of common 
varieties. These trees grow 
much faster than ordinary 
Holly trees. They will grow 
twice the height in the same 
period of time. 
In times like these we realize that most 
anything can happen to the best laid plans 
for future income .. ordinary investments 
may go awry. A comparatively small in¬ 
vestment in the French Strain of English 
Holly, 
The BEST for Commercial Purposes, 
lhe most BEAUTIFUL for the Gardeu 
where Mother Nature does MOST of the 
work, will guarantee your income in a few 
years and you can step out of the harness 
of routine business or industry. 
This is an unusual opportunity for you 
to control your own investment and in¬ 
come for later years. 
Today there is a greater demand for 
French Strain of English Holly than we 
can supply. As far as we can ascertain 
we are the only commercial suppliers of 
9 this particularly hardy Holly with its mar¬ 
velously rich foliage. 
In the U. S. Dept, of Agri¬ 
culture, Farmers’ Bulletin No^ 
" * 1693, issued in October, 1932, 
it says: 
“—only the Dutch, common 
English, and Select (French) 
English are common in the 
Northwest. Commercially it 
cannot be profitable to plant 
any but the best trees of the 
Select varieties. The blue- 
stemmed and green-stemmed 
strains appear to be equally 
desirable to the trade. The 
Select English trees are vigor¬ 
ous growers, have berries 
which are large and bright red, 
and leaves that are THICK, 
GLOSSY, CURLY AND 
vT y DARK GREEN. 
We paid $1.00 a foot for OUR TREES 
in France and we can supply YOU from 
our own planting stock ot this same rate. 
--$1.00 per foot f.o.b. Tacoma, Wash. 
A Little TIME, a lit¬ 
tle MONEY, a little 
WORK... will bring 
you a handsome re¬ 
turn ... 
For 18 years we have culti¬ 
vated, advertised, and sold the 
French Strain of English Holly 
throughout the United States. 
The consistent demand for it is 
greater than we ourselves can 
supply from our great number 
of yielding trees. We have sys¬ 
tematically reproduced plant¬ 
ing stock from the original im¬ 
ported trees by the layering 
method. We can NOW sup¬ 
ply YOU with as many trees 
as you wish from IV 2 to 6 feet 
in height. We have the only 
large stock of cultivated 
French strain of English Holly 
trees in the United States. 
You ran Profit from the 
demand we have created, and 
assure yourself of substantial, 
regular income. But you can 
do this only by planting the 
best trees. 
The French Strain of En¬ 
glish Holly is not to be con¬ 
fused with ordinary garden 
varieties. The common gar¬ 
den varieties are sexual . . . 
about half of them . . . the fe¬ 
male trees . . . produce an 
abundance of berries, but the 
berries become soft and drop 
off during the handling unless 
they are pollenized by the male 
trees. Even then, the sprays 
dry out and the berries shrivel 
and fall off in shipment. 
The thick, waxy, lustrous 
foliage of the French Strain of 
English Holly make it the most 
beautiful for commercial pur¬ 
poses . . . and it has this ad¬ 
vantage . . . since holly is sold 
by weight, and this type weighs 
a third more than common va¬ 
rieties, you receive more per 
tree yield.
