YEW. Taxus 
Yews are rather small-growing 
evergreens that are highly orna¬ 
mental and effective in bed, group 
or specimen planting. They with¬ 
stand clipping well, and are there¬ 
fore well suited for producing for¬ 
mal effects. 
Canadian Yew. (T. canaden¬ 
sis.) A prostrate shrub with 
wide - spreading, slender 
branches; brown bark; foliage 
pretty dark green; showy, deep 
crimson berries; hardy. 
12 in. spread $1.50, 15 in. 
sp. $2.00, 18 in. sp. $3.00. 
Japanese Yew. (T. cuspidata.) 
A slow-growing variety that is 
valuable on account of its hardi¬ 
ness. The dark green color of 
the foliage is retained all year. 
12-18 in. $2.00, 18-24 in. $3.75, 
24-30 in. $4.50. 
Dwarf Japanese Yew. (T. 
cuspidata brevifolia.) Bushy 
habit, rich deep green foli- 
SPRUCE—Continued 
Englemann’s Spruce. (P. Englemannii.) A tall tree of 
slender habit, growing native in the Rocky Mountains. 
The foliage is of a dull blue or green color. The needles 
are shorter than the Blue Spruce. 2-3 ft. $3.00. 
Norway Spruce. (P. excelsa.) This familiar Spruce is 
more generally used than any of the others. It is a 
rapid grower, does well in most soils, and withstands 
the bleak, cold winds of Winter. They make splendid 
windbreaks. If planted as hedges and sheared they 
become impenetrable, and as good for this purpose as 
any evergreen. One of the most inexpensive evergreens.
