California Adopts

proximntes the colors afforded by the
regular sort.
The leaves Of the California holly
are not of the form Of holly leaves,
but the berries easily suggest the reg
ular species. To make the effect seem
more real. some florists Of coast cities
mix the berries Of the California holly
with the prickly foliage of the live oak.
The shrubs Of the California holly
grow to 25 feet tall. and the flowers
appear In July and August, and the
berries, which grow In large clusters
giving and remain on the trees for
some time; although they do not keep
well after being plucked.
The plant is common In most Of the
southern half of the state, and at
Christmas time the rich cardinal ber-
ries contrasted with the full green Of
the foliage adds gay note to the
florists windows and the baskets Of
the street vendors.
