y ceremonial in which the whole tribe took a part. The Swamp, or Meadow Holly (Ilex decidua, Walt.) growsin wet soil throughout the South, its northern limits being Virginiaand Kansas. Generally a shrub, it becomes a tree 30 feet highin Texas, Arkansas and Missouri. The thin brown bark is cov-ered with warty outgrowths. Its most striking characteristicis the silvery grey bark of its twigs. The deciduous leaves aretapering at the base and blunt, often notched, at the apex. Thered berries are flattened. The Mountain Holly (Ilex monticola, Gray.) has a thin,serrated leaf that might be mistaken for a cherry or plum leaf,except that it is usually larger. This is one of the handsomestof the tree hollies. Its fruit is as large as a cherry. Unfortu-nately, leaves and fruit fall early, so they cannot be used for deco-ration. The tree is found in mountain woods from New York toAlabama, following the Appalachian chain to its southern limits.The species is shrubby except in the two Carolinas. 364
