Taxus—Yew 



It is only in the past few years that nurserymen in the United 

 States have begun to really appreciate and grow 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 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 excepting 

 it should not be too wet, but they do appreciate a plenty of good 

 plant food. They are immune to many plant diseases and 

 insects 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 honestly believe you will do well to plant and grow on 

 some of these Yews.
