AMBROSE BROWNELL 
collector, propagator and 
grower of fine hollies—an 
undertaking commenced 
in 1910 by his late father, 
Senator George C. 
Brownell, who planted 
one of America’s first 
commercial groves 
of true English holly. 
N THIS, our first catalog, we present a 
listing of species and named varieties of European, Asian and 
American hollies now growing in the Brownell Ilexetum, and 
generally available at our holly nursery. 
Our specialty is the collection and propagation of every 
recognized and desirable variety of English Holly, coupled 
with the naming and introduction of new clonal selections.
