OVER A CENTURY OF HONEST DEALING 



Ilex - Holly 
ILEX opata “(American Holly). Our native 
Holly which: supplies the garden with year 
‘round“greemness and richness and 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 specimen, 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

blossoms in June followed by blue-black ber- 
ries. Thrives in shade.
