ARISTOCRAT 
FOUR WINDS JAPANESE YEW 
If you really know the artistocrat of horticulture you 
will never be satisfied with the usual run of short-lived, 
common-place plants. Most Evergreens in a restricted area 
either grow out of bounds or become straggly after a rela¬ 
tively short time. Not so with Japanese Yew. For instance, 
the Dwarf Yew which was used around the terrace of the 
old Albright house on Ferry Street, was handsomer and 
denser and greener when the house was torn down than the 
day it was planted. We have two 40 year old specimens 
from that planting which we consider to be worth more 
than any other plants in the nursery. Like fine old pieces 
of furniture they increase in beauty as the years add mel¬ 
lowness and distinction to their original value. 
Four Winds Wide Selection 
Another important feature in favor of Japanese Yew is 
the fact that it is available in such a great many forms and 
varieties that it fits in for use under many diverse require¬ 
ments. Four Winds has a finer selection of these than any 
other nursery within 400 miles of Buffalo. 
Taxus Cuspidata —SPREADING YEW—Low and wide 
growing. The only variety which is commonly seen in 
the Buffalo region. It produces attractive bright red 
berries in the fall as do all the Yews. 
Prices: 12/15" (4 yrs. old) $1.00; 15/18" (5 yrs. old) 
$1.50; 18/24" (6 yrs. old) $2.50; 2/2)4' (7 yrs. 
old) $3.50; 2)4/3' (8 yrs. old) $4.50; 3/3)4' 
(10 yrs. old) $7.00. 
T. Cuspidata Nana —DWARF YEW—An invaluable 
plant for the low hedge or for the dense rich green speci¬ 
men plant which won’t grow out of bounds. This plant 
is extremely slow-growing (as can be seen in the following 
list) which accounts for most of its finest qualities—and 
also for its relatively higher price. 
Prices: 15/18" (9 yrs. old) $2.50; 18/24" (12 yrs. old) 
$3.50; 2/23 4! (15 yrs. old) $5.00. 
T. Intermedia Hicksi —HICKS YEW—Its branches 
grow upright as in the accompanying sketch, making it 
one of the richest and most distinguished of all evergreens 
for landscape planting. For accents on each side of a 
balanced composition or for an upright specimen in a 
very important place, it cannot be rivaled. 
Prices: 2)4' $5.00; 3' $7.50; 4' $10.00; 5' $15.00.
