desirable dark green foliage plant, suited for 

 single specimens or will make a good hedge.

Baccata, though not of such robust growth. 

 The young growth of a most lovely golden hue, 

 and in its season the best golden Evergreen. 



elegantissima. Beautiful Variegated Yew. 



15 feet. One of the most valuable golden- 

 leaved Evergreens. In June and July the 

 leaves of the new growth are of a bright straw 

 color, rendering the plant highly effective. One 

 of the hardiest of the Yews.

 right form; dark green foliage; remarkably 

 hardy.

Japan, and the hardiest of all Yews. Branches 

 somewhat ascending, with dark green foliage.
