Medium Specimen Hallies 
Hollies from 18’-48’° may be found in our display beds 
growing in wire baskets. The “‘Nature Pack’’ wire basket idea 
is this: The trees are growing right in the wire basket. When 
you pick them up to take them to your home, no roots are 
cut; the Hollies hardly know they are moved. When you 
arrive home, the Holly, wire basket and all, is planted to the 
depth of the top wire of the basket. Pays to dig a big hole 
and water them in very well: but we tell you about that in 
our companion non-advertising booklet, ‘“American Holly”’. 
Ask for it if we did not give or mail it to you. 
Hollies from 48’-72’ are real specimens and are moved 
with a 150-300 Ib. root ball. With each tree, included in the 
price, go bags of Oak Leafmold and enough organic fertilizer 
to start them right. 
If you live at some distance from our Holly Farm, and can- 
not visit us to select and carry home the Hollies you may 
wish to buy, please read the following paragraphs: 
Hollies are rather easily broken when mishandled and 
should not be many days enroute. Special packaging is un- 
necessarily expensive and does not compensate for overheat- 
ing or delay in shipment. Experiences over the past few years 
(help is increasingly careless) have caused us to refuse to 
ship by common carrier. WE ARE SHIPPING HOLLIES RETAIL 
ONLY BY OUR OWN TRUCKS (except babies by parcel post). 
We charge en equivalent rate to Railway Express for trucking 
service. However, due to the cost of trucking to isolated points, 
unless we have other deliveries in your vicinity, we seldom 
can accept orders under $50.00 total.

Trees which we plant that do not live through the first 
winter will be replaced without charge other than delivery 
and planting costs, where there is evidence of proper care 
and watering. Because of this guarantee, we reserve the right 
to refuse to plant Hollies in locations of which we do not 
approve. We are glad to correspond and discuss plantings and 
locations. 
Individual Hollies of a given height vary greatly as to width, 
density, age, variety, etc., and a fixed price for the height 
cannot honestly be made. The following prices are average 
and do not apply to any given specimen. If you have in mind 
the shape and type that you wish, we will gladly quote.

As all letters and inquiries (some 10,000 yearly) are answered 
personally by father or son, we ask some leniency if your 
letter is not answered immediately during the busy spring 
and fall months.
