Ilex Opaca Joyce. American Holly with dark green 
leaves, evenly toothed, are glossy. Berries are very 
bright red. 
Fs 
Ilex Opaca—Male. American Holly. Heavy deep 
green. Perfect foliage that will make a good ever- 
green for any group. Hollies produce staminate and 
pistillate flowers on different plants. Therefore a 
male plant should be planted somewhere near a 
group of berry-bearing plants to set fruits. All 
other varieties listed in this catalogue are femina 
or berry-bearing. Generally one male plant will be 
all that is needed if placed on the windward. 
Ilex Opaca Merry Christmas. American Holly that is 
vigorous grower with foliage and berries of a very 
good color, and claimed to be extremely hardy. 
Ilex Opaca Ten Oaks. American Holly that has a large 
deep green leaf and oblong, large orange-red berries. 
Heavy fruiter. Unusual and a very beautiful tree. 
Parent tree located near Clarksville. 
Ilex Opaca Xanthocarpa “Merion”. Leaves a pale 
green quite unlike the usual color found among 
American Hollies. The berries are golden yellow 
and quite attractive. Rarely seen. $1.50 each. 
We hope to add to our Holly collection each year, as 
they have become so popular, so look for other new 
varieties next year.
