GREEN PLANE, F—(Brownell). 
Possesses a striking leaf, long, bold 
and sharply pointed varying in arma- 
ture from entire margins to fully spined 
with all points lying within the plane of 
the leaf. It possesses a strong fruiting 
habit and is a robust growing holly of 
graceful mien. One of our finest in- 
troductions. 
HETEROPHYLLA, F—A Dutch type 
import which, true to its name, is 
clothed with leaves of heterogeneous 
composition. One might say, “just a 
crazy mixed-up kid unable to make up 
her mind.” The botanical naming repre- 
sents a departure from the usual Latin 
nomenclature which could just as well

LAURIFOLIA, M—Another Dutch 
type import with leaves long and slender 
and almost entirely spineless. Identi- 
fied in part by its somewhat reddish 
bark, this holly represents perhaps the 
best of the males of the elongated and 
smooth-leafed varieties. It is a trim 
and well-groomed holly and should not 
be overlooked by the ardent collector. 
MARNOCKII, F—One of the most 
striking of our imported hollies with 
bold, well-spined leaves, prominently 
veined, but with some tendency to 
produce smooth and partially armored 
leaves at the top of the tree. This holly, 
characterized by purplish colored bark 
of dark complexion is a rapid growing 
variety. Its berries, while not overly 
large, are profuse and richly colored.

ORANGE BERRY, F—(Fructu Au-

> ORANGE GEM, F—(Brownell). Also 
Fructu Aurantiaco. The chameleon-like 
berries of this curious holly indulge 
in several changing phases first appear- 
ing in the springtime as green, then 
taking on a pale yellow cast. By autumn 
a blush of red emerges to produce the 
orange coloration. As the berries re- 
main persistent on the tree throughout 
the long winter months, the red be- 
comes so suffused that it finally domi- 
nates the last of the clinging fruit. 
Leaves are long, pointed and but slightly 
spined. Possibly originating as a seed- 
ling cross between hollies of red and 
yellow berry inheritance, the orange 
berried holly possesses conversational 
value as well as being an attractive 
addition to the Hlexetum.

always have a word for everything, the 
name of our subject can be translated 
literally as ‘“‘mixed’’ (hetero) “leaf” 
(phylla), the holly with both smooth 
and spiny leaves. This tendency for 
erratic appearance of leaf spines is a 
trait common to many of the hollies 
both named and nameless. 
No other title seems so appropriate 
to describe this Queen of the Cascades, 
Oregon’s mighty mountain range. For 
sheer splendor, size and beauty of leaf 
and berry, Oregon Majesty is beyond 
compare. We take pride presenting this 
exciting and magnificent addition to 
our roster of “‘Hollies of Royalty.”
