Ilex crenata rotundifolia, 8-10' 
Larger, rounder leaves distinguish this plant from the Ilex 
crenata. Some prefer it to the small-leaf type. 
Ilex decidua (fraseri), 12-15'—Improved Possumhaw 
A deciduous Holly which loses its leaves in the early Fall, but 
what a berry bearer ! This little tree, with its spreading branches, 
does not need leaves in the winter, for it is absolutely studded with 
bright scarlet berries until the leaves again appear in the Spring. 
Ilex glabra, 5-6'—Inkberry, Winterberry 
This Holly is a native of our eastern states, making its habitat from 
Massachusetts to Florida, and is one of the hardiest members of the 
family. It is a much branched, upright evergreen shrub with most pleas¬ 
ing foliage which turns a metallic-purple in the fall. Reflected in the 
sunlight, its jewel-like black berries present a pleasing picture. 
Ilex latifolia, 30-40' 
This Holly has large, glossy evergreen leaves with serrated edges. 
The red fruit is produced in clusters. It is a beautiful plant and a 
rather unusual member of the Holly family as it lacks many of the 
characteristic traits. 
Ilex monticola, 30-40' 
The Monticola is another Holly native to our own mountains and 
is a distinctive member of the Ilex family. It is deciduous, also, and 
bears beautiful red berries throughout the winter season. 
Ilex burfordi is probably the most striking 
introduction of the age and must be seen to be 
properly appreciated. 
Ilex vomitoria
