YEWS 
IRISH YEW (Taxus baccata hibernica). This evergreen is the aristo- 
cratic 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. Fortu- 
nately, we had some specimen plants in our nurseries from which we 
were able to propagate. 9 to 12 in. from pots, 50c each; 3 for $1.25; 
5 for $2.00; 10 for $3.50. 12 to 15 in. field grown, $1.25 each. 
JAPANESE SPREADING YEW (Taxus cuspidata). The beautiful Yew 
of moderate bushy growth, the upright spreading branches densely 
clothed with short leaves of dull green. Hardiest of all Yews, grows 
in semi-shady locations. 1 to 112 ft. spread, $1.50 each; 112 to 2 ft. 
spread, $2.50 each. 
SPREADING ENGLISH YEW (Taxus baccata repandens). Low spread- 
ing, dwarf grower, with dark, glossy green foliage. 1 to 114 ft. spread, 
$1.50 each,e115 to 2 ft. spread, $2.50 each. 
UPRIGHT ENGLISH YEW (Taxus baccata capitata). Upright grower, 
dense, green foliage, makes a most attractive specimen plant when 
full matured. 1 to 1144 ft., $1.50 each; 114 to 2 ft., $2.50 each.

Boxwood 
Harrison-Grown Boxwood 
Possibly no other evergreen shrub has been so much used for 
marking the boundaries of formal gardens, to outline flower beds, 
for low hedges, and for other ornamental purposes. The plants will 
adapt themselves to almost any situation and climate, and by ju- 
dicious pruning can be trained to many forms. We believe that our 
stock of boxwood this year is considerably above the average, being 
possibly the highest quality available throughout the Union. The 
plants have been properly cultivated and transplanted, and are 
therefore in just the condition to grow rapidly when transplanted 
to your grounds. We are one of America’s largest growers of box- 
wood. Boxwood will be properly dug, balled and burlapped, except 
customer advising otherwise. 
Boxwood (Buxus sempervirens). Handsome shrub of dense, com- 
pact growth. Leaves evergreen, quite small, deep glossy green. 
An ideal plant, more extensively used for shaping in various forms 
than possibly any other evergreen.
