Yews 



Irish Yew (Taxus baccata hibernica). 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 that sees it is enthusiastic about it. 

 Formerly it was imported from Europe, but after all im- 

 portations 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. 9 to 12 inches from 

 pots, 11.00 each; 3 for $2.50; 5 for $4.00; 10 for $7.00. 



Japanese Spreading Yew (Taxus cuspidata). The beau- 

 tiful Yew of moderate, bushy growth, the upright spreading 

 branches densely clothed with short leaves of dull green. 

 Hardiest of all Yews, grows in serai-shady locations.

Broad'Leaved Evergreens 



Boxwood. 



Hamson-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 cli- 

 mate, and by judicious 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 culti- 

 vated 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 boxwood. Boxwood will be 

 properly dug, balled and burlapped, except customer advising 

 otherwise. 



Boxw^OOd (Buxus sempervirens) . Handsome shrub of dense, 

 compact growth. Leaves evergreen, quite small, deep glossy 

 green. An ideal plant, more extensively used for shaping in 

 various forms than possibly any other evergreen.
