I f you desire a hedge of 
exceptional distinction and 
hardiness, Hicks Japanese 
Yew will give entire satis¬ 
faction. 
Being fastigiate in growth 
(upward-growing branches), 
each lower branch receives 
full sunlight. Without this 
advantage the lower branches 
kill out. Owing to its com¬ 
pact, upright form, you get a 
finished hedge effect immedi¬ 
ately. It stands severe cut¬ 
ting back and the desired 
height is easily maintained. 
The foliage is a rich dark 
green, even in midwinter, and 
compact to the ground. Its 
red berries in the fall are 
strikingly beautiful and pro¬ 
vide food for the birds. The 
most important point is its 
posed locations. 
This variety originated in Hicks Nurseries. The landscape 
profession and public were quick to recognize the fine qualities 
of Hicks Yew. It has now become the most popular evergreen 
for hedge planting. 
Here is an opportunity to obtain an evergreen hedge at low 
cost. Many estate owners are replacing winter-killed hedges 
of boxwood with this outstanding plant.
