adorn this queenly holly. Collectors 
should place the Camelliaefolia on their 
‘*must”’ list. 
CAPTAIN BONNEVILLE, M— 
(Brownell). A dignified, pleasing holly 
found on the banks of the Columbia 
River near the Bonneville Dam. Broad 
of foliage and ‘thandsome is as hand- 
some does,’ Captain Bonneville is a 
proud and worthy male true to tie 
best traditions of fine old English holly. 
Captain ROYAL, M—(See Dutch Hol- 
lies below.) 
DUTCH HOLLIES 
Originating as seedling mutations in 
the Pacific Northwest are countless 
hollies with smooth and beautiful leaves 
quite free from the sharp spines so 
typical of the traditional aspect of the 
English hollies. These choice but dis- 
tinctive hollies are colloquially referred 
to as being ‘“‘Dutch” to contrast them 
with the more popular spiny leafed 
types. Be it known, however, that these 
so-called Dutch hollies are most pro- 
lific and persistent in fruiting and can 
be depended upon year after year to 
produce those firm big berries so per- 
fect for studding the Christmas holly 
wreaths with crimson clusters. We have 
chosen three most outstanding speci- 
mens for perpetuation as named varie- 
ties. All are vigorous growers, hardy 
and adaptable to a wide range of cli- 
mate. (See also page 17.) 
ROW Alek lel Cin CHa fo 
(Brownell). See illustration front cover. 
Conspicuous for bold, rounded leaves 
of heavy texture and their rich color of 
deep dark green. Leaves are most gen- 
erally tipped with but a single, often 
blunted, spine. Berries of near cherry 
size are amazingly firm and colorful 
and appear in huge clusters. 
CAPTAIN ROYAL, “DUTCH” M— 
(Brownell). As handsome and gallant 
as would be expected of the counter- 
part of Royal Red, and a veritable 
identical twin except for gender. 
TORE es Oe Gr gens Pe 
(Brownell). A most graceful holly with 
a penchant for providing strikingly 
beautiful berry clusters in persistent 
profusion. Leaves so slender, soft and 
shapely as to remind one of milady’s 
delicate fingers. (A holly being offered 
under the name of Platyphylla Pallida 
would appear to be similar. See page 17).

ESCORT, M—(Brownell). See page 11. 
FIRECRACKER, F—(Brownell). See 
page 11. 
FISHERII, @M—An unusual imported 
staminate holly differentiated by purple 
bark and many wedge-shaped leaves 
bearing but a single tip spine. Other 
leaves of irregular armature are 
equipped with broadly based marginal 
spines. 
FOXII, M—A purple barked holly im- 
port with leaves serrated by broadly 
based spines pointing tipward. A really 
sharp character, or should I say a 
gentleman’s gentleman. 
FRUCTU AURANTIACO, F— 
Orange Berry. (See Orange Gem p. 15.) 
FRUCTU-LUTEO, F—Yellow Fruited. 
(See Berigold page 13.) Two choice 
hollies bearing yellow or golden col- 
ored fruit are listed. The English im- 
port, Fructu-luteo, dates from olden 
times and is highly regarded by garden- 
ers for its cheerful capacity to brighten 
an otherwise dark and gloomy land- 
scape. The leaves of this varietal selec- 
tion are fiercely spined and for a 
gentler specimen our Berigold has been 
chosen.
