Grayway-Grown YOUPON HOLLY 
(Ilex vomitoria) 
Youpon Holly is one of our most useful plants, and is being used more 
and more. It is less particular in its soil requirements, and does not require 
the expensive soil preparation necessary for so many other hollies. It is 
entirely evergreen, grows naturally in the woods of Eastern and Central 
Texas, and into Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and eastward. 
The Youpon Holly is one of our most highly useful native hollies, since 
it is not only decorative, with evergreen foliage and attractive red berries, 
but it is far easier to grow in so many places where other hollies demand 
expensive soil preparation. It is much more tolerant of soil conditions than 
the usual holly, and will stand sun or shade. Only the female plants bear 
berries, the same as in other hollies. 
SPECIMEN PLANTS. Since the Youpon 
Holly shears so easily into almost any 
form, it is frequently used as a sheared 
specimen at corners, between windows, 
before wall spaces, or even to make a 
display all by itself out on the lawn, etc. 
FOUNDATION PLANTINGS of Youpon 
Holly are used even in some of our nicest 
homes, either spaced and sheared on 
long, rambling types, or planted close to- 
gether to hide a cement foundation wall. 
HEDGING AND SCREENING. The Youpon 
grows rapidly enough that it can be used 
as a tall, screening hedge; or it may be 
kept sheared into a low, dense hedge of 
the most attractive sort. Hedging is some- 
times made of male (non-berrying) plants. 
YOUPON PRICES: 
95c, $1.25, $1.45, $2.45, up to 
specimens at $8.50. 
All Youpon either growing in cans 
or B&B. 
DWARF YOUPON HOLLY 
Reaches a height of perhaps around 24 
inches, maybe some taller in time, but 
is a true dwarf, growing in the form of a 
hemisphere, or round cushion. We regard 
this as our finest dwarf plant, useful for 
dwarf edging, and particularly for outdoor 
planter boxes, where it may be kept 
down to a height of less than 12 inches 
by shearing perhaps once yearly. It does 
not berry that we know of. Highly attrac~ 
tive. PRICES: (In cans or B&B), $1.45, $1.75 
to $5.00. 
BURFORD and CHINESE 
HORNED HOLLIES 
These differ largely in that the Burford 
(Ilex Cornuta burfordii) usually has only 
one apical spine, where the Chinese (I 
Cornuta) has three very prominent spines. 
The Burfordii bears large red berries; 
whereas both berried (female) and non- 
berried (male) forms are found among the 
Chinese. 
The Burfordii is very popular. It's leaf 
seems somewhat darker green than Chin- 
ese, and it is possibly a little more up- 
right. Both have large, attractively colored 
red berries, 
BERRIES ON HOLLIES... 
Hollies are either Male or Female, and only the female bears berries. Many female 
plants will not set berries unless the flowers are fertilized by pollen from a male 
plant. Pollination is done mostly by bees and insects. We can supply known male 
gray-way grown Youpon Holly plants. 
NEW HOLLY Vazcecces 
Many of the kinds listed aren't new, except they are known to so few 
people in many sections. Since hollies are so sure to be in greater use 
in our territory, we are growing quite a number of brand new hollies as 
well as some of the more promising of the older sorts. So far, we have not 
had much success with the Japanese hollies (I. Crenata.var.) and are not 
listing them at this time. They have black berries instead of red. 
DAHOON HOLLY (Ilex Cassine). A wond- 
erful sight in the late fall and winter 
with its abundance of red berries. Native 
Louisiana and east. 
AMERICAN HOLLY (I. opaca). An ever- 
green tree much admired in the woods 
of the southeastern part of the U. S. and 
westward into Texas and Missouri. We 
have several hundred various types, 
both male and female, some with very 
lovely foliage. Several varieties of Amer- 
ican Holly that we are growing are, 
Hume, Howard, and East Palatka. 
EAST PALATKA is a variety of American 
Holly that promises to be one of the 
best producers of berries and best to 
grow that we have tried in our nursery. 
We have had a number of specimen 
trees, some as much as $150.00, but all 
have been sold and customers have 
been delighted. We expect to continue 
to grow it in abundance. Few American 
hallies surpass this variety in the 
amount of berries borne and the regu- 
larity of bearing: and because the 
leaves are small, the fruit can show to 
fine advantage 
POSSUMHAW (I. decidua). Sometimes 
called “deciduous youpon"” because it 
sheds its leaves for the winter, but the 
female plants, a mass of attractive red 
berries, make a wonderful showing, and 
the berry branches are fine for decora- 
tion. Native around Arlington and many 
other places in Texas-Aklahoma-La., etc. 
ENGLISH HOLLY (I. aquifolium.) Native of 
British Isles and other parts of Europe. 
Has what people know as the “real 
holly-looking leaf." Some call it, 
“Christmas Holly.” Apparently not so 
well adapted to our territory as the 
American Holly. It is widely grown in 
the Washington-Oregon section. 
ROTUNDA (I. cornuta, var. rotunda) is a 
dwarf form of Chinese holly, with very 
spiney leaves that really “look like 
holly.” lit is densely branched, and said 
to have red berries. (We have not seen 
it fruit). A plant is said to have reached 
a height of 18 inches and a spread of 
40 inches in 12 years. Excellent speci- 
men; good in planter boxes and for 
making low hedge. We are growing it 
in our nursery, and folks like it. 
EAST PALATKA 
NOTE: Hollies are either growing in cans 
or B&B; so we cannot ship them, though 
sometimes we can slip a can or two into 
a sizeable bundle of trees. 
Wisecllanesus 
GRAYWAY PLANTS 
GIANT PANSIES. From year to year, we 
have grown giant pansy plants from 
the finest seed to be had. They are 
available in season. 
LIRIOPE Muscari. (Sometimes called 
“Monkey grass”) This is a dwarf, ever- 
green, grass-like plant that is highly at- 
tractive for edging, etc. 
DWARF JASMINE 
ENGLISH LAVENDER 
SANTOLINA 
PINE TREES 
BALD CYPRESS TREES 
TRAILING LANTANA. This is one of the 
best for outdoor window boxes or out- 
door beds. Stands almost any kind of 
soil and exposure in hot summer sun. It 
would be difficult to find a more at- 
tractive or fool-proof plant in a trailer. 
INDOOR WINDOWBOXES and PLANTER- 
BOXES. We carry a nice line of plants 
for indoor decorative use, or many kinds 
and varieties, sizes and prices.
