YEWS (TAXUS) are particularly valuable for plant¬ 
ing in shady places and cities where the smoky at¬ 
mosphere is injurious to the evergreens. Their 
bright red fruits among the dark green leaves make 
them the most interesting of all evergreens in late 
summer. They stand much trimming, are long lived, 
and free from pests. Plant in rich soil, well mixed 
with peat or humus. 
—cuspidata capitata. Upright Japanese Yew. 8-12 ft. 
Broadly pyramidal. May be sheared into any form. 
—cuspidata intermedia. 3-5 ft.. 
A semi-upright form. Very darkest shiny green 
foliage, especially striking with its orange-red ber¬ 
ries. Quite dwarf.
