Ilex crenata nummularia. Another form of the Japanese Holly that is even more dwarf 
Tris 
Tris 
and a much slower grower than the preceeding. It grows into a dwarf and irregular 
bush about 8 or 10 inches high with very stout and stiff branches. The tiny oval 
or round leaves are set close together and close to the branches. Quite difficult to 
propagate, hence very rare. It does well in a well drained rich acid loam in full 
sun or light shade. (pH 5-6) 
IRIS. Iris. (Iridaceae, Iris Family) 
cristata. (Crested Iris) A choice and easy eastern American native that creeps quite 
quickly, forming large sheets of graceful, emerald green, arching leaves from 5 to 8 
inches high, liberally studded with large, wide open delicate blue flowers scarcely 
above the foliage in May and June. A wonderful plant for shade or semi-shade in 
a light, acid leafmold soil. (pH 5-6). The rhizomes creep on top of the ground and 
they should not be covered or they will rot. 
cristata alba. A lovely companion to the one above with the same shinning green 
foliage, but with beautiful pure white flowers in profusion. Very rare and coveted 
by all ardent rock gardeners. Give it the same soil and exposure as above. Both 
will stand full sun if the soil remains moist all summer.
