Japanese Yew (Upright Type) 
•Japanese Y ew 
T HIS tree was original^ brought to America 
from Japan. It has been established in Amer¬ 
ica long enough now so that it has become 
a favorite tree in our northern states. 
From time immemorial it has been cultivated in 
Japan, where it is looked upon as a valuable tree 
in Japanese landscape art. The growth is close, 
compact and possesses a certain richness in appear¬ 
ance which marks it distinct from all other types 
of Evergreens. It has the typical, waxy, shiny green 
leaves of Yews. It is an especially desirable tree 
for foundation groups, formal gardens, rockeries, 
and similar positions where trees need to be kept 
within certain bounds. 
We offer both in the Japanese Yew, the upright, 
branched form which develops a leader, as shown 
in the picture to the left, and the spreading type 
pictured below. 
The importance of this tree for permanent plant¬ 
ings cannot be over-emphasized. In positions where 
trees must remain for many years with little atten¬ 
tion, such trees are found to prove of great value.

inches in a season when the tree is established 
and has favorable growing conditions. 
This tree is rapidly becoming popular in 
the middle west, replacing other varieties for 
many uses. All Yews endure shade better 
than any other Evergreens. We cannot 
recommend Yews too highly. Growth is
