TAXUS (Yew) 
The Taxus are undoubtedly the most popular and useful 
of all the ornamental evergreens. We have been growing 
them extensively a good many years and the demand keeps 
increasing. 
The English Yew (Taxus baccata) is not reliably hardy in 
the north, and many do not realize that the Japanese, and 
many forms of Media, are perfectly hardy in and around 
Boston, and the Japanese even in northern New England. 
They are not so particular as to character of soil except 
that it should not be too wet, but they do appreciate plenty 
of good plant food. They are immune to many insect pests 
and plant diseases so destructive to many other evergreens. 
The Yew in its many species and forms can well be used 
in most all places where any other evergreen will do well. 
We have small quantities of larger sizes of many of 
these varieties but are too bulky and heavy to ship. 
These are for truck shipment only. 
We honestly believe you will do well to plant and grow on 
some of these Yews.
