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 pollenizing. 
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. 
AMERICAN Christmas Holly Hex opaca 
Broodleaf Evergreen Tree. Ter. 1 to 5. 30 ft. Tall, pyramidal growth with 
horizontal branches. Large, rounded, glossy, dark green leaves with spines. 
Bears masses of bright red berries in winter. Grows both in shady locations, 
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.
