YEWS (TAXUS) are particularly valuable for plant- 
ing in shady places, and in cities where the smoky 
atmosphere is injurious to other evergreens. Their 
bright red fruits among the dark green leaves make 
them the most interesting of all evergreens in late 
summer. They stand much trimming, are long lived, 
and free from pests. Plant in rich soil well mixed 
with peat or humus.

DECIDUOUS TREES AND SHRUBS 
Trees and Shrubs are included under one heading as there is no clear dis¬ 
tinction between them, and what one lists as a tree is likely to be listed as a 
shrub by another. Botanical names are given preference except where the 
common names are well established or much better known. The range of 
sizes, and number available this year, in the sizes quoted are limited because 
of the past several adverse seasons. The figures in feet given after the names 
indicate the size attained at maturity under average conditions and will vary 
considerable according to environment. 
Special requirements such as acid or limestone soil, moist or dry soil, shade 
or full exposure, winter protection, etc., are noted, if important.
