The Brownell Holly Nursery 
Here in our nursery are well over 50,000 potted hollies ranging from rooted cuttings to sturdy 
specimens five and six years of age. Represented are some 17 species and well over 100 named 
varieties. A sizeable acreage is covered to a depth of two feet with sawdust and into which the pots 
are plunged for the protection of the roots of the hollies from either drying or freezing. The potting 
soil is a standardized and tested mixture well calculated to provide the correct medium and proper 
nutrients for optimum growth of the hollies. An extensive planting of field grown hollies is main- 
tained for the supply of larger and older specimen stock.
