About American Hollies 
About every second customer interested in American 
Hollies asks “What kind of soil do they want?” and 
“Do you think we can grow them in our climate?” 
Here, 1n potting, we use a mixture of about one-third 
peatmoss, one-fourth ccarse building sand, and the 
balance good garden soil. They seem to like it. In 
outside beds a cover of one inch of sand and three or 
four inches of peatmoss, well chopped into the top 
six inches of soil, should make them very happy. 
Then, they should be kept on the moist side; and it 
will be well to shade them for the first year or two. 
Locating them under large shade trees until they are 
a foot tall should keep them in good growing humor; 
then they can be moved to the field. There, if you 
can plant them beside or between blocks of tall 
shrubs or evergreens to keep off the winter winds, 
you will find that they will do well. 
They dislike elevation and cold winds far more than 
they dislike cold climates. 
Give them a dusting of 5% or 10% DDT about once 
a month during the summer to keep down the leaf- 
eating insects and leaf miner, and look them over 
during dry spells for red spider. Two pounds of flake 
glue in 100 gals. of water will take care of the 
spiders. Chances are that you can grow them with- 
out much trouble.
