TAXUS. Cuspidata (Japanese Yew), 5'-8'. 
Although spreading and irregular in its habit of 
growth, this tree will stand severe shearing and 
can be kept to almost any desired size. The 
plant is extremely hardy, with beautiful dark 
green foliage, and thrives well in the shade as 
well as in the sun. One of the most desirable 
evergreens. 
Cuspidata capitata, 5'-10'. Like the preced¬ 
ing in foliage, hardiness, and general charac¬ 
teristics. It is upright in growth, however, 
naturally of somewhat irregular shape, but can 
be sheared to make a symmetrical cone if de¬ 
sired. 
TAXUS CUSPIDATA CAPITATA 
Evergreen Shrubs 
In addition to the Evergreen Trees we have a number of flowering Evergreen 
Shrubs, mostly with broad shining leaves, that are very attractive both for foliage 
and flowers. 
Except the Yucca, the shrubs described below do best in partial shade, being 
especially desirable for foundation planting on the north side of a building. They 
require an acid soil, and, therefore, should not be enriched with ordinary fertilizers. 
Lime, in any form, is especially injurious. About the best treatment is to mulch 
heavily with peat moss or oak leaves, allowing the mulch to remain throughout 
the year. 
DAPHNE. Cneorum, 1'. A dwarf, spread¬ 
ing evergreen plant, with narrow, glossy leaves 
and small, fragrant pink flowers, produced in 
abundance in the early summer and continuing 
more or less throughout the season. 
LAUREL (Kalmia latifolia), 5'-7'. The 
well known Mt. Laurel with large clusters of 
pale pink or white flowers late in June. Hardy 
and succeeds in nearly all locations.
