Christmas Folly 
By far the most famous of the Holly family, the 
American Holly was once commonly found in most 
all wooded areas of the East. 
Either by cutting, burning or from an attack of 
bugs and disease it has all but disappeared, except 
for certain areas along the Eastern seaboard. 
By selection and. breeding, Holly experts have suc- 
ceeded in propagating varieties that are hardy and 
comparatively free from disease and insect attacks. 
We now have a quantity of this most unusual plant, which we are offering. The plants 
we haye, have been selected for their early and heavy fruiting characteristics. They have 
been found hardy for several years in the Buffalo, New York area and in New England. 
The trees are likely to do better where they are protected from strong winter winds and 
where they get some shade. A fertile, well drained soil, on the acid side, is preferred. ‘The use 
of leaf mold and peat moss in planting and as a mulch is recommended. A special Holly fer- 
tilizer is listed below. 
Although the tree will grow 30 to 40 ft. tall at maturity, it looks best when kept trimmed 
to a compact size of 4 to 8 ft. 
Evergreen in its nature, with the heavy crop of attractive bright red berries during the 
winter, as an accent plant in strategic corners, flanking walks or front entrances, if 1s 1n 
a class by itself. It is invaluable for planting in areas fairly close to the house. 
Because the female and male flower are produced on separate plants, at least 2 plants 
must be planted. Because the pollen from 1 male plant will pollinate the blossoms of from 2 
to 10 female plants, we offer a combination of 2 female and 1 male plant in one package.
