EVERGREENS AND CONIFERS 
We have what we believe to be the largest and most complete 
collection of nursery stock in the United States. Many of the 
items we grow are either too bulky or too heavy to pack and 
ship. We therefore are listing only those plants that pack easily, 
and do not suffer in transit. 
However, if you are interested in plant material not shown 
here, we will be happy to quote, giving full particulars as to 
prices, the cost of packing, etc., when less than a truckload or 
carload is required.

TT must be considered that we handle live 
plants. Each order has to be specially 
dug and prepared; nothing is kept on 
shelves as are manufactured articles. Also 
please note that we are human and 
have only a few weeks within which to do 
our shipping. Mistakes do happen! 
We welcome honest criticism as much 
as we do complimentary congratulations; 
we receive both ! 
Taxus * Yew 
The Japanese or Cuspidata varieties of Yews are the most satisfactory of all evergreens for 
a number of home-ground purposes, such as hedges, lawn specimens, foundation plantings, 
formal effects, rock-gardens, and banks. In addition to their lustrous dark green foliage, which 
does not turn brown but remains green all winter, they bear beautiful scarlet berries which are 
very picturesque against the dark green foliage. They are not only hardy but are exceptionally 
long lived, requiring only a little pruning to keep them in the form you desire, and an occasional 
feeding of fertilizer, cow-manure preferred. We have the largest block of select Taxus in America.
