GUAVA—Feijoa 
PINEAPPLE Feijoa sellowiana 
Broadleaf Evergreen. Shrub. Ter. 1 to 3. 10 ft. Leaves are medium size, 
the upper surface being a glossy green, and silvery-gray underneath. The 
flowers are whitish-purple with many conspicuous red stamens. Medium size, 
edible fruit, which is dark green, tough skin, white flesh, which is sweet 
and delicious for eating fresh. Ripens in October to December. This ornamental 
fruit-bearing Evergreen has many desirable uses. Valuable in Landscape 
Plantings as specimens or in groups and masses. The fruit is delicious 
when eaten fresh, crystalized, preserved or made into jellies. Well adapted 
to the Gulf Coast, and should be planted extensively. As an ornamental it 
would justify our growing it, if it bore no fruit whatsoever.

Pineapple Guava—An ornamental that bears attractive flowers and edible fruits. 
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, foundation and border plantings, and for¬ 
mal CLIPPED HEDGES, grow readily in the shade, and are not affected with heat or drouth conditions. 
To insure a large and regular crop of Berries every year, they require poUcnizing. 
NOTICE: BOTH PISTILLATE (Berry-bearing or Female) AND 
STAMINATE (Non-Berry-bearing or Male) types. The Pistillate types 
will bear berries only when properly cross-pollenized by the STAMI¬ 
NATE TYPE. There should be one staminate for every five pistil¬ 
late. 
Extra Specimen American Holly 
AMERICAN Christmas Holly Ilex opaca 
BroDdleaf Evergreen Tree. Ter. 1 to 5. 30 ft. Tall, pyramidal growth with 
horizontal branches. Large, rounded, glossy, dark green leaves with spin**. 
Bears masses of bright red berries in winter. Grows both in shady location*, 
and in full sun. Thrives best in sandy loam soil. This is the beautiful 
Holly used for holiday decorations. In addition to this, it is one of the 
handsomest Evergreen Shade Trees. It is worthy of far more attention from 
Landscape Gardeners than it usually receives. A native of the Eastern and 
Southern States.
