OTHER BROADLEAF EVERRGEENS 
OREGON GRAPE HOLLY 
Mahonia Aquifolia — The leaves are 
holly-like and bright green. Has long 
clusters of bright golden yellow flowers 
in the spring, followed by bunches of 
bright blue grape-like berries. Most at- 
tractive in foliage, flower and fruit. The 
sprays are fine for interior decoration. In 
the north the leaves lose their color in late 
winter but do not fall off. In the spring 
new life comes back into these leaves. 
Never winter kills. At its best in group 
plantings. We grow it in full sun, but it is 
at its best in half shade. Prefers a rather 
heavy soil.

3 for $1.50; 100 for $40.00
