Choice and Unusual Plants for 
Fall and Winter Planting 
|9eto ees 
T HESE are the very compact, slow growing, slender, 
column-like, dark green bushes, which are so stately 
for use about homes, and last for generations. They 
are the supreme pride of all shrubbery, and former¬ 
ly sold at very high prices only. We now have them in 
neat sizes from eighteen to thirty inches high, just ele¬ 
gant for gardens of limited space, also invaluable for 
cemetery plots or formal garden decorations. Priced 
from $1.50 to $3.00 each. 
The following sorts are available: 
ENGLISH YEW —A compact growing, rich green form 
with loosely spreading upright branches bearing bright 
red berries. 
IRISH YEW—A nearly black green colored foliage with 
branches tightly folded against the trunk making a slen¬ 
der, solid, attractive column. Extremely slow growing. 
Often covered with bright red, juicy, sweet berries, show¬ 
ing an exposed black seed in the center which is open. 
GOLDEN IRISH YEW —This is very similar to the pre¬ 
ceding, except that it has needles with yellow edges at 
certain times of the year, and makes then a more pro¬ 
nounced effect than the plain green type. These are true 
garden treasures and live for many generations without 
any particular care or attention. They will also thrive 
in partial shade, which few other evergreens will do. 
CHINESE YEW (Podocarpus macrophylla) —Quite 
similar in habit of growth to the Irish Yew, but the foli¬ 
age is more substantial and distinct. It is very slow grow¬ 
ing also, making it invaluable for small gardens as a tree 
of distinct and rare appearance. It is not hardy east of 
the Cascade Range, for none of the Yews can resist 
weather much below zero. 
PEAT MOSS is a most useful soil improver that every 
gardener should have constantly on hand, for it prevents 
soil from becoming hard, makes it porous and helps to 
store fertility and moisture. We can supply you.
