/A a narrow outline of rich, deep green foliage. It is a vari- 
JL Y ety of the Japanese Yew discovered in the Dana Ar¬ 
boretum at Glen Cove, Long Island. Like all varieties of the 
Japanese Yew, this tree is thoroughly hardy, will stand severe 
cold, and will thrive in the shade. Not a common tree as yet 
in the middle west, but one which is gaining friends fast. Its 
growth is quite rapid, its ultimate spread of branches very 
narrow, height perhaps 10 to 12 feet. Can be easily trimmed.

T HIS tree fills a unique place among Evergreens. It has a low, 
peculiar, irregular and picturesque outline. Old trees assume 
the billowy outline of old boxwoods and offer to planters in 
colder climates some of the charm which old boxwood trees possess. 
These trees have an added advantage of being able to thrive in 
dense shade. In this respect, they are superior to all other types of 
Evergreens, as they will actually thrive and make a thrifty growth 
when planted on the shady side of a building or under the shade of 
taller trees or shrubs. 
Ultimately, plants may reach three feet or more in height and three 
feet or more in width. By trimming, trees may be kept small so they 
may be used in close quarters. 
The branches are covered with little 
bunches of blackish-green foliage. The 
color is retained throughout the season, 
which gives it an added advantage over 
many forms of Evergreens. The foliage 
is very heavy and of a waxy, shiny, 
green color.
