Hemlock 
Plants that will grow and develop in 
various amount of shade and difficult loca- 
tions are common problems. We call your 
attention to three of the best. Douglas Fir 
and Hemlock are always good while Taxus 
are the most reliable for all situations. Taxus 
or Japanese Yew can be divided into three 
divisions of growing habits. The tall and 
narrow columnar types, the tall and spread- 
ing pyramidal types, and the low, spreading 
kinds from prostrate to bush types. 
The yews are, contrary to opinion, with 
but one exception a fast growing evergreen. 
Under favorable conditions they will pro- 
duce an annual growth of twelve inches or 
more. Their ready response to trimming has 
created an increasing demand for yew 
hedges. 
Soil requirements are simple and their 
qualities of hardiness and vigor are such 
they withstand dense shade, exposed loca- 
tions and most adverse conditions.
