TAXUS CUSPIDATA CAPITATA. When the Holland House, one of the latest buildings at Rockefeller Center, was completed last 
September, they required for landscaping the third, fifth, and sixth floor of that building, some 570 Taxus cuspidata capitata, about 42 inches 
in height for immediate effect. The horticultural director, A. M. van den Hoek, came to our nursery and had no difficulty at all in selecting 
just the plants he required. The above photo shows the results obtained. 
Upward of 2000 of our Yews decorate the several gardens at this tremendous New York development. 
TAXUS • The Yews 
These dependable evergreens are varied in form, rich dark green 
in color, and will adapt and acclimate themselves to any location. 
They are rarely affected with pests, nor do they become unsightly 
with age. An occasional shearing together with a feeding of cow- 
manure will keep them looking their best. Ideal for hedges, foun¬ 
dation plantings, evergreen effects in the border, and specimens.

After painstaking efforts for many years we are now ready to offer 
the Japanese Yew in many shapes and figures ideally suited for 
formal gardens. They include spirals, globes, cubes, cones, and other 
interesting figures, all closely clipped. We have grown them especially 
for clients residing in colder climates where Topiary Boxwootl, 
so much planted in the past, has not proved hardy. 
Ask for our special list, which will be mailed upon request.
