SWEET SPIRE 
HOLLY

resembles the traditional American Holly with its spiny leaves, bright 
glossy dark green and bright red berries on the female plants. 
Porous soil, preferably partly shaded. Hardy. Gal. $1.25 and up, 
5-gal. $4.50 and up.

Holly for California gardens. Very hardy. Gal. $1.25 and up, 5-gal.

deep dark green foliage although almost without spines, and clusters

LANTANAS 
Lantana camara. Excellent to cover banks, trained against walls as 
a vine, as a ground cover, in pots, and even as a specimen shrub.

grows rapidly and requires very little care. Gal. $1.25.
