YEWS (TAXUS) are particularly valuable for plant- 
ing in shady places. The Japanese Yew is said to 
endure the smoky atmosphere in cities better than 
any other evergreen. Their bright red fruits among 
the dark green leaves make them the most interest- 
ing of all evergreens in late summer. They stand 
much trimming, are long lived, and free from pests. 
Plant in good soil well supplied with humus.
