ENGLISH HOLLY 
Ilex Aquifolium and its hybrids 
Mostly large, heavy deep green, and variegated foli- 
age with thick stems and large red glossy berries. A 
very beautiful race of plants that have not been 
grown enough. It is a mistaken notion that they are 
not hardy. Large plants can be found as far north as 
Cape Cod. They are much hardier than many think. At 
any rate they are well worth a trial in your locality 
and all hollies should be protected from wind and sun 
the first year in any locality. The following have 
been grown here where the wind seems to blow all win- 
ter and the temperature goes to zero for short periods. 
Balearica (Bef.). Form of Platyphylla. Beautiful, thick 
large, and very deep green leaves. Fast grower.
