AMERICAN HOLLY 
Though this is at the bottom of the list, do not 
overlook it. In hardiness it is superior to all the other 
red fruited evergreen hollies. Native from Portsmouth, 
New Hampshire, south, any of those l ted below can 
be tried where the temperature does not go lower than 
30 degrees below zero. 
American holly is so variable in the wild that we 
purposely carry no seedlings. Only rooted cuttings or 
grafted plants of select varieties or strains will be found 
listed. Even though the male opaca item does not carry 
a varietal name, it is nevertheless a selection we con- 
sider worthy of dissemination. 
A fine specimen 36 feet tall which was planted some time 
after 1900. This tree is laden with bright crimson berries 
annually.
