Ilex Cormuta—The horned Holly of China. 
Available in male and female and also in the improved female strain 
so often seen in the South. Ilex Cornuta Burfodii. A lover of hot, dry 
climates, the Horned Holly survives below zero temperatures only when 
favored with a sunny wind protected location. 
Ilex Pernyii—The tiny leaved Holly of the Orient. Prized by collec- 
tors because of its miniature Holly-shaped leaves. A lanky grower that 
requires constant shearing if a bushy shape is desired. Berries are borne 
underside of the foliage. An improved strain is available—llex Pernyii 
Vietchii, slightly larger leaves, bushy habit, showier berries. Hardy; 
grows well over much of the nation where American Holly will grow. 
Ilex Crenata Convexa—The box leaved Holly. Used most often for 
borders or hedges this Holly has foliage that looks more like boxwood than 
Holly. One of the hardiest of the un-Holly-like Japanese Hollies, it will stand 
both heat and cold and grows most anywhere that American Holly will 
grow. 
Ilex Verticillata—Often known as ‘‘Winterberry.’ The only Holly in 
this list that sheds its leaves each winter. Primarily used as a birdfood, 
these are available in male and female—larger bearing aged shrubs 
only. This Holly is a native of America. Red berries. Very hardy; likes 
wet places. 
Ilex Glabra—Inkberry or Gallberry—— A native American black-berried 
evergreen Holly wonderfully adapted for hedges or foundation plantings. 
Thickly bushy habit, quite rapid growth, fully hardy where American 
Holly will grow. Very popular. Large bushy shrubs available.
