English Holly 
The English Holly with darker and much shinier foliage 
than the American type, is not quite as hardy as our native 
one and should only be planted in places where it will have 
a chance to winter. We find it quite satisfactory in sheltered 
places here on Cape Cod and it does well on Long Island 
and from New York City southward. 
Here again we offer young potgrown plants. We have 
just male and female plants, so specify what you want 
when you order. They are $2.50 each, Postpaid. We recom- 
mend that you order in lots of three, one male and two 
female plants. 
The only named variety we offer at this time is the 
variety J. C. Van Tol, a broadly pyramidal growing tree, 
with very dark green shiny foliage and an abundance of 
beautiful, large red berries. Plants of this outstanding 
female variety $3.00 each, postpaid. 
Japanese Holly 
The Japanese Hollies are of an entirely different type 
than the preceding two species. They are small-leaved and 
bear black berries. The two varieties offered here are of 
a spreading rather than an upright habit. They are some 
of the finest plants for foundation plantings and low hedges 
and we recommend them highly. 
We offer two varieties, both of which will be supplied 
in plants about 6 to 12 inches high and from 3-inch plant 
bands. $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00, postpaid. 
Ilex crenata convexa, a variety with small convex-shaped 
and very shiny leaves. Black berries. 
Ilex crenata rotundifolia, with larger foliage than the above, 
but round and flat, of a pleasing dull green. Also black 
berries. 
Two Splendid Groundcovers 
Bearberry. Arctostaphyllos Uva-Ursi. Also called “Wild 
Cranberry”. One of the finest evergreen groundcovers 
for either sun or shade. The foliage is a beautiful shiny 
dark green and turns into a bronze-green during the 
winter. It is very prostrate with pink and white flowers 
in June, followed by bright red, cranberry like berries 
in July-September. Requires an acid soil. 
Potgrown plants only. 6 for $3.50; 12 for $6.50. Postpaid. 
Trailing Arbutus or Mayflower. This plant, botanically 
known as Epigaea repens, is one of our finest evergreen 
natives. It is the State Flower of Massachusetts. White 
to rose colored flowers open in very early Spring with 
a rich, spicy fragrance. The evergreen leaves make a 
fine groundcover. It prefers a moist, well-drained lo- 
cation in acid soil. 
Potgrown plants only. 3 for $2.95; 6 for $4.95. Postpaid.
