HICKS’ YEW (Taxus cuspidata Hicksi). Another form of Yew that is very similar to the 
\rish 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 sec- , 
tions. It has proven to be perfectly hardy. If extremely narrow effect is desired it can 
be obtained by trimming the sides of the plant when it is small. This variety is exten- 
sively eee fer making A OTs hedges:
