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 bac- 

 cata) 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 except 

 that it should not be too wet, but they do appreciate plenty 

 of good plant food. They are immune to many insect pests 

 and plant diseases so destructive to many other evergreen. 

 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.
