a small bush which is in every way but one, like Holly , and that is that it has no signs of any berries, all the Holly I
have ever seen has the small berries so I am at a loss to know what this can be. I suppose you will say I am an ignoramus

and I hope it will continue so. Wishing many happy returns of the New Year I am Yours most sincerely M. Seeley Husted
