Taxus— The  Yews 
Because  they  are  so  handsome  and  will  bear  shearing  to  fit  almost  any  plan, 
the  Yews  have  always  been  popular  for  grouping,  formal  gardening  and  topiary 
work.  They  should  be  given  somewhat  sheltered  situations,  as,  unfortunately,  they 
all  are  not  entirely  hardy  in  our  climate.  They  are  slow-growing,  refined  in 
appearance,  and,  unlike  most  evergreens,  thrive  well  in  shade.

pretty  in  the  growing  season  for  the  golden

other  dwarf  evergreens.  $3.50. 
var.  fastigiata.  Irish  Yew.  Forms  a  dark, 
slender  column  that  requires  no  clipping  to  pre-

distinct  and  effective  and  requires  so  little 
space.  $3.50. 
The  Retinosporas 
Sometimes  called  JAPAN  CYPRESS.  This  group  is  unusually  attractive  because 
of  the  remarkable  brightness,  delicacy  and  variety  shown  in  its  foliage  tints.  In  the
