JAPANESE YEW 
Japanese Yew (Taxus cuspidata). V 
The most common form. A spreading bush, 
about twice as wide as high. Very hardy. Re¬ 
sponds eagerly to shearing as for a hedge, al¬ 
though the upright form is better for this purpose.

I T IS 'certainly destined to be the one most important Conifer in American 
Gardens—even as it has already become so in Europe during the centuries. 
Consider a minute, what other evergreen will withstand sun, shade, dry soil 
and damp, wind and cold! The hardy Japanese Yew was introduced comparatively 
recently and this, together with Mr. Hatfield’s hybrid species Media makes it 
possible to put Yews in the very northernmost of American gardens.
