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 us'ed 

 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.
