HOLLIES OF CHINESE ORIGIN 
Some of the most interesting, unique and beautiful 
plants of our gardens are of Chinese origin. The hollies 
of the Orient are no exception. One might be taken for 
a pear tree, though the foliage is evergreen, and the 
cherry red fruit is suspended on 2 inch stems. Another 
has the glossiest leaves and the largest and sharpest 
spines. All of them should be better known and more 
widely tried. 
ILEX PERNYI 
Has tiny, crowded, rhombic leaves usually with two 
spines on each side with a long sharp terminal one. The 
ovoid red fruit is closely appressed to the twig. A fine 
specimen is growing in Philadelphia.

IDEA OUR ERIN 
Though this is a cross between aquifolium and pernyi, 
because it shows more clearly the pernyi parentage, it 
is put in the Chinese group. A neat small tree with 
sharply spined leaves, because of its hybrid vigor and 
seeming hardiness, it should be tried over a wide range.

A superb holly which should be better known because 
of its beauty and hardiness. A columnar tree with cherry 
red fruits which are suspended on long stems.
