American Holly 
AMERICAN HOLLY 
(lex opaca) 
Hollies are more easily grown than many 
of the so-called hardy evergreens. They 
have so many landscape uses that every 
home-owner can surely have some plants 
from which to cut his own Christmas greens. 
Plant Holly by your door as a token of 
hospitality. Use it as a clipped evergreen 
hedge that boy or dog will never violate. 
Or give it space and feed it well for a spect- 
men. Some place nearby there must be a 
male tree, a companion for the berry-bearing 
female trees. You may use as few as one 
male to every eight female but you must 
have at Ieast one pair. When 2 to 3 feet 
high your plants may be expected to start 
fruiting a little and will continue to pro- 
duce more berries every year. Our Hollies 
are all propagated asexually, so no matter 
how small a plant you purchase from us, the 
sex will be guaranteed as true and you will 
be assured of a good type.

Gradually some of the fine Hollies that 
you have seen at our nursery are being made 
available. Our method of propagation in- 
sures the continuance of all the fine char- 
acteristics of the original parent. 
BOUNTIFUL. A remarkable variety that 
was given this name because of its bounti- 
ful supply of red berries. 
HEDGEHOLLY. A slightly smaller leaf 
type, with a greater number of semi- 
glossy leaves that fill m and cover so well 
as to be admirably adapted for hedge use. 
This one has a particularly good color 
throughout the winter and an ample 
number of berries. 
MERRY CHRISTMAS. Very hardy, with 
foliage and berries of good color, it grows 
rapidly but compactly. These are char- 
acteristics which make this one of the 
best all-round Hollies. 
OLD HEAVY BERRY. Truly an aristo- 
crat among Hollies. It has large, heavy 
dark leaves, and berries seem to form on 
every twig. The structure of the tree is 
more like a young oak. 
1B. We have been propagating this Holly 
under the number “1B.” It is a dense- 
growing, dark leaf type, which comes 
through the winter with a rich full green 
color. It has not yet been suitably named 
but is certainly a variety of real merit.

Vex Glabra 
Another interesting evergreen (not il- 
Justrated) which is so different that it is 
hard to imagine it as belonging to the Holly 
family. The leaves are about the size of 
your thumb print and growth is informal 
and graceful. It responds well to shearing.

Nex Rotuudiolia 
A sturdy little evergreen which can be 
grown informally or is delightful when 
clipped as a globe or pyramid. A fine substi- 
tute for many of the ordinary evergreens 
that can’t stand city dust or dirt. Having a 
slightly larger leaf than Ilex crenata convexa, 
its effect is a bit bolder than that variety. 
Prices are the same as for Ilex crenata con- 
vexd.

(Box-Leaf Holly) 
A choice shiny-leaved evergreen (pictured 
below), with foliage curving outward. It can 
be sheared to hold the growth to 1 inch a 
year, or if left unsheared will grow 6 inches. 
Always neat, it is unexcelled for an evergreen 
edging and might easily substitute for dwarf 
boxwood. A splendid city evergreen. Nicely 
clipped specimens at the followmg prices:
