Wilsont, another Hybrid. Rare and beautiful. 
HYBRID HOLLIES 
The next six varieties, although usually classed as 
English holly, are essentially different. Presumably na- 
tural hybrids between Hex aquifolium and the Canary 
Island holly, Ilex perado or Ilex platyphylla. All have 
large, broad, more or less flat leaves with none of the 
recurving tendency of aquifolium foliage. They are all 
beautiful plants of rapid growth, and are worthy of 
a trial as far north as southern Connecticut. In Standard- 
ized Plant Names they are grouped under the specific 
name altaclarensis and so they shall be here. 
ILEX ALTACLARENSIS 
The stock tree from which these were taken is fully 25 
feet in height and 10 feet in breadth. It is one of the 
finest and hardiest of the group with roundish-ovate 
leaves 3 to 4 inches long. On some leaves the spines are 
numerous and regularly developed, while on others they 
are few or absent. It fruits freely without a male form 
present.
