A Twentieth Century Horticulturalist Writes: 
**I am glad to see increasing attention being given to the various 
Yews. The late Professor C. S. Sargent sang their praises on many 
occasions, and Dr. Wilson advocated their use in his lectures and his 
books. Many of them are now being seen . . . yet very little informa¬ 
tion about their characteristics and their culture is found in print. . . .”
