Ilex Hume No. 2 
Ilex perneyi, 6-10' 
Here again the seeker for the unusual should take note. This 
small evergreen of compact habit is absolutely new and very inter¬ 
esting. It has beautiful little leaves, heavily spined, of attractive 
form and excellent color. The berries are red. It is worthy of trial 
by anyone interested in Hollies. 
Ilex perneyi veitchi 
This Holly, we believe, will also prove to be valuable. It, too, 
is of recent introduction. It differs from Ilex perneyi in that it has 
larger leaves and is probably a stronger grower. We are happy to 
be among the first to introduce both Ilex perneyi and Ilex perneyi 
veitchi to the plant-loving public. 
Ilex sieboldi, 12-15' 
This well-known, distinctive plant with its numerous red berries 
has proved to be very satisfactory. Its small leaves are deciduous. 
Ilex verticillata, 8-10'—Black Alder, Winterberry 
The bright red berries are borne in abundance and remain on the 
spreading branches until spring. This is a beautiful plant and is one of 
the best of the deciduous Hollies. It is hardy from Canada to Florida. 
Ilex vomitoria, 18-20' —Yaupon Holly of the South 
The Yaupon Holly will please the most exacting person. It is 
good used in clumps, as a screen, in a hedge, or as an individual speci¬ 
men. It bears myriads of transparent, bright red berries in the early 
fall, and the evergreen, grayish foliage produced on silvery stems is 
pleasing throughout the year 
Ilex opaca, 35-50' —American Holly 
This is the Holly that everyone thinks of when Christmas wreaths 
or decorations are suggested. Its evergreen branches with dull red 
berries are used throughout the country to make homes festive for the 
Y uletide season. It is a stately tree with short,, spreading branches and 
will thrive in almost any soil. Some people are taking advantage of its 
rugged hardiness and are planting this Holly in large quantities on 
waste land for the purpose of selling the foliage and berries on the 
city markets. Our stock is grown from selected plants. 
Ilex opaca East Palatka, 10-15' 
A variety of garden origin, produced by crossing the Dahoon and 
the American Hollies. Its evergreen leaves are practically spineless. 
Its deep red berries are borne in heavy clusters, ripen a month or so 
before those of other varieties of the American Holly, and persist on 
the trees until spring. It is a truly distinctive and beautiful addition 
to a distinctive and beautiful family. 
Ilex opaca howardi, 30-40' 
A distinctive type of the American Holly bearing deeper and 
darker green foliage than other varieties of the Opaca group. A heavy 
bearer of deep red berries produced in abundant clusters. The rich, 
shiny leaves of this variety are practically without spines. 
Ilex opaca Hume No. 2, 30-40' 
Another cross between the American and the Dahoon Hollies. 
This variety is a stronger and a more vigorous grower than East 
Palatka and makes a larger tree. Its berries are not so bright, how¬ 
ever, as are those of the East Palatka. It rivals the American Holly 
in vigor and in its growing habits, and, for that reason, we include 
it in this list of Garden Aristocrats.
