these versatile hollies are the hardiest available, withstanding temperatures of -20 degrees F.

Mrs. Meserve bred these outstanding hollies by crossing the little known, but very hardy Prostate Holly, Ilex rugosa with the English Holly, I. aquifolium, known for its handsome foliage.

, T^e result is offlciaHy known as ttex x meserveae. The cultivars are Blue Angel, Blue Maid. Blue Princess, Blue Prince and Blue Stallion.

Blue Angel is the slowest growing, most compact member of the group, eventually reaching a height of six to eight feet if left untrimmed.

Its glossy, blue-green foliage is crinkled and turns a deep-bluish purple with the arrival of winter. The scarlet berries are large.
