Taxus cuspidata nana 
(Dwarf Japanese Yew) 
Taxus media hieksi (Hicks Yew) 
A variety with vertically growing branches, making a narrow out¬ 
line of rich, deep green foliage. It is a variety of the Japanese Yew 
discovered in the Dana Arboretum 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 per¬ 
haps 10 to 12 feet. Can be easily trimmed.

Taxus cuspidata pvramidalis hilli 
(Hill Pyramidal Yew) 
This tree was introduced several years ago by the Hill Nursery. It 
is outstanding both in the extremely heavy dark green foliage, which 
resembles Dwarf Japanese Yew, and in its habit, which is tall and very 
narrow, somewhat like Hicks Yew in appearance. This is a selected 
type of Japanese Yew of outstanding merit.

green. By far the best of the spreading varieties for both color or form.

Taxus cuspidata nana (Dwarf Japanese Yew) 
This 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. 
The branches are covered with little bunches of blackish-green foli¬ 
age. 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.
