Yews, Golden and Variegated. By J. C. {Gard. Ghron. No. 1087, 

 p. 289, October 26, 1907). — The yew almost rivals the common holly in 

 the number of its cultivated varieties ; some forty varieties are now in 

 cultivation, and twenty having coloured foliage are here described. 

 Most of these varieties are increased by grafting on the common yew ; 

 cuttings, as a rule, do not grow freely, and the plants remain dwarf and 

 stunted for years. Full information is given as to the best means for 

 their cultivation. — G. S. S.
