HOLLY 
Ilex 
The Hollies are beautiful plants at all 
times, some varieties making large trees, 
and others small compact shrubs. Being 
clothed in hard, shiny, irregularly formed 
foliage, they hold their own among other 
Trees and Shrubs but in Winter, when 
loaded with beautiful berries, they are the 
glory of the garden. 
The Hollies are adapted to many uses— 
as individual specimens, in groups, founda¬ 
tion and border plantings, and formal 
clipped hedges. The Yaupons grow readily 
in the shade, and are not affected with heat 
or drouth conditions. 
NOTICE: We offer both Pistillate (Berry¬ 
bearing or Female) and Staminate (Non-Be- 
rry-bearing or Male) types. Tlae Pistillate 
types will bear berries only when properly 
cross-pollenized by the Staminate type. There 
should be one staminate for every five pistil¬ 
late. 
DAHOON (Cassena) .. Ilex cassine 
Broadleaf Evergreen Tree. Ter 1 and 2. 30 ft. 
Tall, pyramidal giowth with horizontal branches. 
Leaves are oblong in shape, dark, glossy green, with 
no spines. Produces bright red to yellowish-red ber¬ 
ries in clusters, lasting from early fall throughout 
the winter. Requires soil very much like native 
Holly, and thrives best in full sun. This holly is a 
great asset to the varieties of Evergreen berried 
plants for bright red color among the green foliage 
in winter. 
NARROWLEAF DAHOON (Myrtleleaf Holly) 
Ilex myrtifolia 
Broadleaf Evergreen Tree. Ter. 1 and 2, 25 ft. 
Pyramidal habit, of irregular shape. Branches 
usually have a wiry appearance. With its dark 
green, shiny, narrow leaves, it has an airy, loose 
effect in plantings. In winter, it is covered with 
bright red berries, which make it an attractive com¬ 
bination among other Broadleaf Evergreens. Grows 
better in loamy soil.
