Taxus (Yew) 



It is only in the past few years that nurserymen 

 in the United States have begun to really appreciate 

 and grrow the Yew. In England there are Yews more 

 than a hundred years old, but unfortunately the English 

 Yew (Taxus Baccata) is not reliably hardy in the North 

 and manj- do not realize that the Japanese and many 

 forms of Media are perfectly hardy in and around Bos- 

 ton, and the Japanese even in northern New England. 



They are not so particular as to character of soil 

 but they do appreciate a plenty of good plant food. 

 They are immune to the many plant diseases and in- 

 sects so destructive to so many other evergreens. 



^Ve think the Yew in its many species and forms 

 can be used in most any and all places where any other 

 evergreen will do well. 



We honestly believe you will do well to plant and 

 grow on some or many of these Yews.

TAXUS BACCATA FASTIGIATA. (Irish Yew). A 

 strictly fastigiate form, with stout crowded upright 

 branches and branchlets: leaves radially arranged 

 around the branches, dark glossy green, more obtuse 

 than in the type. One of the most desirable ever- 

 greens of columnar habit for formal gardens. Would 

 not recommend for planting north of Philadelphia, 

 although it is hardy on Long Island.
