The genus _Ilex_ includes a striking variety of plants ranging from upright trees of 60 feet to creeping prostrate plants suitable for rock gardens. With fruit colored orange, yellow, black, and white in addition to the familiar red, sometimes lasting six months or more, hollies are ideal ornamentals. They prefer acid soil and are therefore perfect companions for rhododendrons and azaleas. _Hollies_ represents years of research by one of the giants of American horticulture, covering all the hollies in cultivation with descriptions of many of the 30 deciduous and 780 evergreen species.
