Fine @ er ee Lael 
(ILEX) 
HESE fine evergreen trees and 
shrubs are unsurpassed in beauty 
and in popularity by any of our broad- 
leaved evergreens. They succeed over a 
wide range of territory and have been ex- 
tensively planted in nearly all portions 
of the United States. Hollies are very 
desirable at all seasons of the year, but 
especially so at Christmas when the ber- 
ries are highly colored and at their best. 
CASSINE (Dahoon Holly). This native 
evergreen variety is very satisfactory in the 
South but is not recommended for the 
colder sections of the country. The tree is 
low and spreading in habit, and the leaves 
are bright and glossy, without spines. It is 
a heavy bearer, the branches being literally 
covered with bright red berries. 
CASSINE MYRTIFOLIA (Myrtle-leaved 
Holly). An attractive native evergreen 
Holly. Foliage small, bright green, spine- 
less. An excellent Holly for borders, 
hedges and for specimens. May be pruned 
to formal shapes. Berries plentiful, bright 
red, or yellow, as preferred. 
CORNUTA (Chinese Holly). A dwarf, com- 
pact Oriental variety with exceptionally 
dark, shiny foliage.. Berries red, large and 
showy. A striking shrub for foundation 
plantings, lawn specimens, and borders. 
CORNUTA BURFORDII. This very hand- 
some shrub or small tree is one of the 
Chinese Hollies, and in general appearance 
is similar to the well-known Cornuta. In 
both varieties the foliage is a beautiful 
dark green and very glossy. In Cornuta 
the leaves are angular and very spiny, 
while in Burfordii they are oblong and 
usually smooth except for a sharp tip. The 
fruit is large and heavy and of a brilliant 
red. Equally as useful and ornamental as 
Cornuta, it is considerably more approach- 
able. See color plate, page 11. 
CRENATA (Japanese Holly). Another 
worthy member of the Holly family par- 
ticularly suited to low plantings such as 
hedges and foundations. Crenata is a 
small-leaved sort, compact, medium slow- 
growing, and bearing black fruit. It is 
evergreen, entirely hardy, and makes a 
beautiful little border shrub. 
CRENATA BULLATA. This new sub- 
variety of Crenata has small, roundish, 
glossy leaves. It is a dwarf grower tending 
to spread fan-wise as it grows larger. It 
may be pruned to suit individual tastes, 
and gives promise of immediate acceptance 
to the ranks of the all-too-limited class of 
hardy plants for edging and low hedges. 
Both J. crenata and [. bullata are illustrated 
in color on page 6. 
CRENATA ROTUNDIFOLIA. A much 
larger-growing shrub with larger leaves 
than either Crenata or Crenata Bullata.

Ilex opaca - American Holly 
All our American Hollies are grafted from 
the finest selected strains of fruiting trees and 
are much superior to seedlings. Choose any 
one offered below; or, better still, order the 
whole collection, and you will never again 
be satisfied with ordinary Hollies. 
Bailey. An old-fashioned Christmas-type 
Holly with large, spiny leaves. Produces 
a fair quantity of attractive red berries. 
Croonenburg. A Greenbrier origination. 
Tree form with very dark green foliage, 
quite large and spiny. The red berries are 
produced while the tree is still very young. 
East Palatka. Foliage light green, of me- 
dium size, almost smooth and resembling 
Dahoon Holly in appearance. It is a 
regular bearer of immense quantities of 
bright red berries. 
Hibernia. This Ilex type is one that we 
have grown for several years and we 
recommend it as interesting and attractive. 
The tree shows exceptionally bright green 
foliage, is quite compact, a medium wide 
grower, keeping a symmetrical appear- 
ance. The leaves are .spiny, but not 
deeply indented; the red berries are abun- 
dantly produced each season and are well 
distributed over the tree. As it becomes 
better known we feel that it will be in- 
creasingly popular as a Christmas Holly. 
Howard. The most popular variety we 
grow. Foliage very dark and glossy, with 
some spines. Berries bright red and at- 
tractive. Excellent. 
Hume No. 1. A vigorous grower, spreading 
in habit, with large, almost spineless 
leaves, Bears regularly and the fruit is red 
and of large size. 
Hume No. 2. Leaves large and spiny. 
Fruits large, red, and produced in fair 
quantities. 
Lake City. Vigorous grower with large, dark 
spiny leaves and attractive orange-red 
berries. Very prolific. Should be included 
in every Holly collection. 
Taber No. 3. A very distinct and outstand- 
ing variety. Growth narrow and pyrami- 
dal, retaining this form without pruning. 
Foliage dark green, large and spiny. Fruits 
large, bright red, and showy.

Taber No. 4. This very fine strain grows to 
a great height. It has slightly drooping 
branches which give it somewhat the 
effect of a huge fountain. The fruits are 
bright red and very large. 

VOMITORIA (Yaupon). A native evyer- 
green Holly with small foliage, compact 
bushy head, and bright red berries pro- 
duced in great profusion. This is one of our 
most desirable shrubs for foundation, bor- 
der, and hedge planting. It may be kept 
sheared to any shape or size desired, and 
makes excellent specimens for 
planting.
