“ILEX AQUIFOLIUM HANDSWORTHENSIS”

ILEX = oak

AQUIFOLIUM = having pointed leaves; holly tree

HANDSWORTHENSIS (sometimes HANDSWORTHIENSIS) - presumably the name of the individual responsible for cultivating this particular variety

So, back on October 19, 1910, Edith Gray Wheelwright planted a Handsworth New Silver holly, which is characterized by leaves with broad, white margins.
