Japanese Roily (ilex creitataj. 
T HIS elegant hardy evergreen holly has been so very rare and difficult to obtain that 
nurserymen generally, while fully aware of its great beauty, have said little about 
it iu their catalogues. The leaves are very glossy and evergreen, holding its rich 
color throughout the entire winter without turning brown. It is a slow grower, making 
a compact bush with branches way to the ground; in time it becomes a good sized 
shrub. As a specimen lawn plant it is most desirable, and as a hedge plant it is ideal, 
being much more refined in its expression than any of the plants now used for hedging. 
We succeeded in procuring a quantity of this most desirable Japanese Holly in 
Japan last spring and they have grown vigorously at the nursery this summer, so we 
have a fine lot of them to offer. 
Prices—all are bushy plants— i to feet, $r.oo; to 2 feet, $1.50; 2 to 2% feet, 
$2.00. Special price on a large number given.
