beautiful sight. These trees, many

berries and the foliage ig of a hand
some shade of green, much different
to most of the holly bushes In this
city .
When Mr, Brownell planted these
trees several years ago, he did not
plant them for the market, for he be
lieved that by planting the trees they
would fill a large vacant spot and oth
erwlse beautify the home, which is
one of the handsomest In the county.
Since the trees have taken on growth
they have been covered with scarlet
berries each year. Not only do they
add to the beauty of the place but
have become profitable. This year Mr.
Brownell hag found a big demand for
the holly in the San Francisco mar
kets, and sold considerable last year.

Francisco buyers 1526 pounds, and
Friday and Saturday of this week
shipped 800 more pounds, and still
the bushes do not show where the
twigs hav been removed. Mr. Brown

5000 more pounds of twigs he could
ship If he desired. He has 650 tress
on his place and all are now In bear
ing. .
