EVERGREEN TREES 
15 
The several members of the Yew family comprise the aristocrats of the 
medium, dwarf and pygmy types of evergreens. All of them are exceedingly 
handsome; all are remarkably hardy. The many varieties afford types and 
forms which lend themselves to use in a great variety of landscape effects. 
The leaves are soft needles similar to those of Hemlock but usually a 
little wider and heavier; some of them longer. The colors range from bright 
to dark blackish green. Most varieties maintain this positive color year 
around, although a few take on attractive bronze hues. 
All Yews thrive in shade; all but one flourish in sun. While they sur¬ 
vive in extremely poor soils they, of course, prefer a soil of decent fertility. 
They tolerate extreme ranges of moisture or the lack of it. All except the two 
Canada varieties are improved by moderate applications of Lime from time 
to time. 
The landscape uses of Yews are many. They are ideal in the founda¬ 
tion or other planting where small slow growing plants are vital. Yews are 
perfect facers to groups of large evergreens. They are perfect subjects for 
shearing and are the best plants from which to make topiary forms. Certain 
varieties make the best hedges of medium heights, and one variety takes the 
place of Dwarf Box Edging in severe climates. Every home deserves the 
liberal use of Yews.
