This Evergreen is the aristocratic member of the Yew family. 

 It grows tall and narrow with stout, crowded branches and 

 spirally arranged leaves which are dark green in color. This 

 Yew is very scarce, but everyone who sees it is enthusiastic 

 about it. Formerly it was imported from Europe, but after all 

 importations were discontinued by the Federal Government, 

 American nurserymen were unable to supply their customers. 

 Fortunately, we had some /Specimen plants in our nurseries 

 from which we were able to propagate.

HICKS' YEW (Taxus Cuspidata Hicksii). Another columnar 

 form of Yew that is very similar to the Irish Yew, but is a 

 much faster grower. The branches ascend almost vertically 

 generally growing with many stems. Its rich dark glossy 

 green makes it much more attractive than Arbor-vitaes or 

 Junipers. We can unhesitatingly recommend it for planting 

 in all sections. It has proven to be perfectly hardy. If ex- 

 tremely narrow effect is desired it can be obtained by trim- 

 ming the sides of the plant when it is small. This variety is 

 extensively used for making high class evergreen hedges.

IRISH YEW 

 SPREADING YEW (Toxus cuspidata). The beautiful Yew of moderate bushy growth, usually 

 grows wider than it does tall, starts branching from the bottom developing into a bush form, 

 the spreading branches are densely clothed with short leaves of dull green. It is the most attrac- 

 tive spreading evergreen, will grow in semi-shady locations. Hardiest of all Yews. By trimming 

 the side branches the plant can be made to grow semi-upright and likewise by trimming the 

 top branches the plant can be made to develop lower to the ground. Can also be trimmed 

 into globe shape. 



REPANDENS SPREADING YEW (Taxus baccata 

 repandens). A low spreading dwarf type of 

 Yew, having a slightly weeping effect after it 

 reaches some age. Has dark green needles and 

 will grow particularly well in shady locatrons. 

 Very slow growth. Each 2 for 10 for
