On our trip east we visited
the largest commercial holly
planting on the Atlantic Coast.
It belongs to C. R Wolf, M ill
ville, New Jersey. Mr W olf is
the President of the American
Holly Society. He presided at
the society meeting
held in
Portland last October.
Mr. W olf and his
orcharo
manager, Daniel C. Fenton, a
graduate of Rutgers U.gave us
a most cordial welcome. Let it
be noted here that Mr.
Wolf
operates a
huge industrial
sand business. Holly produc
tion is a hobby with him and
he gives every pound of holly
to his customers at Christmas
time. The crop we estimated
at 30 thousand pounds.
This planting of about 20 ac
res is composed
entirely of
Ilex opaca, or native American
holly seedlings. Our so-called
English or European holly car
ries the scientific name of Ilex
aquifolium. The leaves of Eng
lish holly exhibit a deep green
sheen not found in the native
American holly.
However,
there may be opaca varieties
developed which rival English
holly.
To keep ahead of the
game Oregon growers had bet
ter bring on the choicest of our
English varieties.
Eastern orchard
manage
ment problems appeared much
the samea s ours. Actually the
Wolf planting was made
on
quite flat land and he has
a
frost problem at blossom time
just as we have on
our flat
lands here. To get around this
problem Mr. Wolf has adopted
two measures.
The first con
sists of construction
of two
wind towers approximately 30
feet high.
Mounted on these
are two electrically
driven
aeroplane type
propellers.
When the
temperature ap
proaches freezing these mach
ines are set in motion so that
the whole planting is providea
with good air circuation. The
second measure consists of use
of smudge pots
using some
type of oil for fuel.
Mr. W olf has tried
several
of our
aquilolium varieties
without much success. They do
not withstand the low winter
temperatures
encountered
there. We talked of the possi
