Holly, Yew and Box 



warmer counties. V. Traversii is the hardiest 

 of all and thrives well north of London. 



Viburnum. The best known evergreen species 

 of this genus is V. Tinus the Laurustinus. 

 It is a valuable winter flowering plant which 

 thrives in all except the very coldest parts of the 

 country. A new evergreen species is V. rhytido- 

 phyllum from China. 



Yucca. The various hardy Yuccas are all 

 valuable evergreens as they strike a distinct note 

 of change from everything else in the garden. 

 The most useful are Y. angustifolia, of dwarf 

 habit, with small, narrow leaves ; Y. gloriosa, of 

 larger growth with stiff upright leaves ; and Y. 

 recurvifolia with semi-pendant foliage. 



Through lack of space I have been unable to 

 refer to all the hardy evergreens, and have not 

 been able to do more than briefly refer to others. 

 This was unavoidable as the work was intended 

 to deal directly with the Holly, Yew, and Box 

 only, the other notes being appended to direct 

 attention to the many serviceable evergreens, 

 suitable for gardens in any but the very coldest 

 parts of the country.
