ADAMS NURSERY INC. 
TAXUS — YEW 
No class of evergreen is more effective in a planting than 
the Yews with their rich and luxuriant foliage. Of extreme 
hardiness, they adapt themselves to many unfavorable 
conditions and do exceedingly well in the shade. Being 
rather slow in growth and withstanding shearing well 
they are most valuable in base or foundation plantings.

cuspidata SPREADING JAPANESE YEW 
This variety of Yew is probably used more than any other. 
It is of spreading habit, growing in its younger stages about 
twice as wide as high. It is extremely hardy and may be best 
used in the foundation planting where an informal effect is 
desired or in shady places, such as under awnings and in corners.

cuspidata capitata UPRIGHT JAPANESE YEW 
Considered the most beautiful of the Yews for almost every 
type of planting, where an erect spreading tree is desired. It 
tolerates shade and holds its rich dark green color well throughout 
the winter. Can be trimmed into a neat, compact and sym¬ 
metrical plant, which makes it one of the best hedge plants.

cuspidata nana (brevifolia) DWARF JAPANESE YEW 
Without doubt this is one of the most useful and desirable 
of the dwarf evergreens for foundation groupings, whether 
planted in sun or shade. It is very slow growing and its deep, 
rich green foliage lies close to its short branchlets. The growth 
is rather unsymmetrical which makes it very picturesque.
