Holly-Leaved Cherry 
Frunus ilicifolia, ‘“Holly-Leaved Cherry,” “Islay.” Of all our na- 
tive shrubs, there is none more beautiful than this wild cherry with 
its rich, deep green holly-like foliage and sprays of white flowers. 
Of dense spreading habit and fairly rapid growth, it is extremely 
hardy, standing both heat and cold. It is not at all particular about 
soil and will thrive without any water other than the natural rain- 
fall after once becoming established. At the same time it will stand 
ordinary garden culture. It likes a sunny location but will grow 
well in the shade. There is no end to the places where this shrub 
can be used effectively. For foundation planting against a building 
or wall. As single specimen plants or for mass plantings. For 
screen plantings or for covering banks and hillsides. It makes the 
most beautiful hedge allowed to grow informally or trimmed, while 
for decorating purposes the cut sprays have no equal. Gallon cans,

Catalina Cherry 
Frunus lyonii, ‘Catalina Cherry.” From Catalina Island and the 
other islands off the coast of Southern California. Of taller and 
more rapid growth than the preceding species. Large oval leaves 
of a rich green, the young foliage being a pleasing shade of apple 
green. Ispecially desirable where a tall dense screen planting is 
needed and for foundation planting against a building. It can be 
used very effectively in conjunction with the Holly-Leaved Cherry, 
using the latter where the lower effect is wanted and the Catalina 
Cherry where the taller growth is required. It stands ordinary gar- 
den culture quite well and is probably now planted more than any

sible places. Gallon cans, 75c.
