Ilex * Holly 
Beautiful at all times, the Hollies, with their shiny, irregularly formed foliage 
and attractive berries of scarlet, orange, or black, are among the most impor¬ 
tant ornamentals one can have on the home-grounds. The red-berried varieties 
appear to great advantage at Christmas-time. The plants increase in beauty 
year by year and are better than a first-class investment. Unless listed as male, 
our plants are all pistillate or female, and, the cuttings having been taken from 
berried plants, can be depended on to bear fruit. The male or staminate plants 
have beautiful foliage but, of course, lack the berries.
