Taxus baccata (English Yew) 
This is the old favorite of English gardens. Native of Europe and north 
Africa to the Himalayas. Deep green, rapid growing in good soil, very dense. 
Will do quite w’ell in poor soil and in dry situations. One of the best of all 
hedge plants, as it will stand any amount of pruning. Thrives in either sun 
or shade. The English Yew has this great advantage in hedges, in common 
with all the yews, the trees make uniform growth all along the line regard¬ 
less of sun or shade. Hardy evergreen.

Taxus baccata erecta (Broom Yew) 
A columnar form of the English Yew, of fine, erect form of growth. Compact 
and full but not quite as narrow as the Irish Yew, and has smaller foliage. 
The foliage is dark, rich green and together with the shapely form, sets this 
splendid tree out in deservedly delightful manner. A fairly rapid grower. 
Very superior for narrow hedges where real quality is desired. Hardy.
