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 ot 
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 speci- 
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 least 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.

Holly makes the aristocrat of all hedges.

THE BOSLEY NURSERY, MENTOR, OHIO 
Named Varieties 
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. 
ARDEN. A neat, upright-growing variety, 
admirably adapted for growing in a 
limited space. We admire the neatness of 
this Holly. 
BOUNTIFUL. A remarkable variety that 
was given this name because of its bounti- 
ful supply of red berries. 
CARDINAL. The mother tree of this va- 
riety came from Massachusetts and some 
years 1s so loaded with berries as to weigh 
the limbs down. However, do not expect 
the young trees to bear this heavily. 
CROONENBERG. This Holly has been 
widely acclaimed as the finest in Old 
Virginia. Our plants need to be older 
before we can verify that statement. 
HEDGEHOLLY. A slightly smaller leat 
type, with a greater number of semt- 
glossy leaves that fill in 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.

Nex Rotundyolia 
A sturdy little evergreen which can be 
grown informally or 1s delightful when 
clipped as a globe or pyramid. A fine substi- 
tute for many of the ordmary evergreens 
that can’t stand city dust or dirt. Having 
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.

Rich in tradition and sentiment, 
Holly is a useful and hardy evergreen 
which even the most casual observer 
will recognize and appreciate as some- 
thing fine. 4 be

Nex Crenata Couvera 
(Box-Leaf Holly) 
A choice shiny-leaved evergreen (pictured 
below), with small, elliptical, spineless foliage 
that curves backward and is so different that it 
is hard to imagine it as belonging to the Holly 
family. 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 ever- 
green edging and might easily substitute for 
dwarf boxwood. A splendid city evergreen.
