ILEX PERNYI. Perny’s Holly from China, with 
spines like the Christmas Holly, but leaves much 
smaller, only an inch long, set close to the stem, 
and large, red berries nestled among them. Event¬ 
ually a small tree, but slow-growing. Not quite so 
hardy as the American Holly, it will stand 10 or 15 
below zero if not too exposed, while 25 below has

of I. Pernyi bears staminate flowers followed by 
the pistillate ones that form the berries. Cutting- 
grown plants.
