Yews - Taxus 
The Japanese Yews were introduced into this country 
from Japan about 75 years ago. They have been used in 
the eastern states and are now becoming very popular here 
in our section of the country. They are well adapted for 
use in rather shady places where other shrubbery is not 
successful. The glossy, waxy green foliage taken with the 
red berries makes a very effective combination. 
Taxus cuspidata capitata. Js of upright growth of moder¬ 
ate, bushy habit; foliage quite dense. 
T. cuspidata. Of somewhat irregular spreading growth. 
Makes a very fine bushy plant. 
T. cuspidata nana. Is listed by some as Brevifolia. Is a 
dwarf, compact grower. Where a plant of this kind is 
wanted, it is very desirable. There are several other 
forms of the Taxus, for the present, however, we believe 
the Cuspidata capitata and Cuspidata are the most de¬ 
sirable. 
Thuya - Arbor-Vitae 
Thuya occidentalis (American Arbor-Vitae). 10 to 20 
feet. The finest evergreen for hedges. It grows rapidly 
and soon forms a beautiful hedge, very dense. Is not 
adapted to turn stock, but forms a most desirable and 
ornamental screen to divide the lawn from other parts 
of the grounds, or any other like purpose. May be 
trained in any form desired, as no evergreen bears the 
shears with so little injury as this. 
T. aurea (Golden Arbor-Vitae). 8 to 10 feet. A beautiful 
variety of compact, globular form; color a lively yel¬ 
lowish green; one of the very handsomest. 
T. globosa (Globe Arbor-Vitae). Of dense, dwarf habit, 
globular in outline; color a pretty light green; requires 
no shearing and always in good form. 
T. pyramidalis (Pyramidal Arbor-Vitae). 10 to 12 feet. 
A superb, new and hardy sort, of very compact habit, 
like the Irish Juniper. Is rare and beautiful, and is 
largely planted in cemeteries and places where spread¬ 
ing trees would be out of place. This is perhaps the 
most valuable Arbor-Vitae in cultivation. 
T. sibirica (Siberian Arbor-Vitae). 6 to 8 feet. Exceed¬ 
ingly hardy, keeping its color well in winter. Growth 
compact and globular; makes an elegant lawn tree of 
good value. 
Hemlock - Tsuga 
Tsuga canadensis (Hemlock). Very graceful tree of loose, 
open growth, somewhat drooping. Foliage bright green.
