TAXUS . Yew 
No doubt the most popular evergreen in 
America. Its chief characteristics are its lon¬ 
gevity, slow growth and luxuriant dark green 
foliage the year round. The various garden varie¬ 
ties provide many different forms and shapes.

well suited for hedges. Usually thrive best in 
moderately moist sandy loam and endure shade 
very well. An excellent plant for foundation 
planting.

THUJA • Arborvitae 
The wide variety of sizes and forms of Arbor¬ 
vitae facilitates and suggests their use as accents, 
hedges, screens, or outdoor tub plants, or for plant¬ 
ing in groups. The foliage is composed of a scale¬ 
like covering of fine branchlets and is characteristic 
in all the forms. The Arborvitae respond readily to 
any shearing which follows their natural form of 
growth and may be kept within bounds easily.

because they lend themselves readily to shearing 
and trimming. They can, however, because of their 
adaptability, be used for any planting purpose. When 
untrimmed they produce a profusion of white blos¬ 
soms followed by attractive shiny black berries.
