OVER A CENTURY OF HONEST DEALING 


Ilex - Holly 
ILEX opaca (American Holly). Our native Holly which 
is prized so much at Christmas time because of its 
large glossy leaves and striking red berries. Stands 
pruning well and can therefore be used as a speci- 
men, in foundation plantings or as a hedge. Some 
trees bear berries (pistillate, female), while others 
(staminate, male) do not. It is necessary that you 
have a male Holly growing close by or one should 
be planted in every group for pollination. They will 
grow in partial shade or in the open.

Mahonia 
MAHONIA aquifolium (Oregon Grape). The thick, 
glossy leaves resemble Holly, but are much larger 
and far more attractive. Makes a compact bush, 
and when pruned severely or cut to the ground 
every few years will become an indescribable mass 
of green and bronze foliage. Yellow blossoms in 
June followed by blue berries. Thrives in shade.

Mahoberberis 
MAHOBERBERIS neuberti (Mahonia Barber- 
ry). An interesting hybrid which is a 
cross between Mahonia aquifolium and 
Berberis vulgaris. Often sold as Berberis 
ilicifolia. This medium growing, almost 
evergreen shrub is hardy, vigorous and 
free of insects. Leaves toothed or spiny, 
somewhat resembling a Holly. We think 
it a most useful and desirable variety.

Nandina 
NANDINA domestica. A _ semi-evergreen 
shrub with numerous, upright, reedlike 
stems. Each cane has a tuft of spread- 
ing light green foliage except the very 
young growth, which is tinted pink to 
copper. In August, white panicles of 
flowers appear, followed by masses of 
red berries in trusses. In autumn, strong 
coppery tints cover the foliage, making 
a most pleasing combination. While not 
entirely evergreen, it is nearly so.
