of branches make it ideal for windbreaks.

paid. 18 to 24 in., 75c each; 3 for $2.00,

Japanese Yews or Taxus 
Without doubt the Yews are among the finest and 
most luxuriant evergreens grown. They are extremely 
hardy, easy to grow, do well in shade, and harmonize 
with any other plant. 
CUSPIDATA. Spreading variety. Habit of growth sim- 
ilar to Pfitzer Juniper. Foliage is a shade of dark 
green different from other evergreens. May be 
sheared for a low hedge, allowed to throw out its 
graceful wands for informal corner plantings, or 
kept trimmed back into compact shape. Numerous 
red berries form and hang close to the branches all 
winter. 10 to 12 in., $1.00 each; 12 to 15 in., 
$1.50 each. 
CAPITATA. Foliage description same as for Cuspidata 
except this variety grows in upright form, closely 
columnar. May be sheared. 12 to 15 in., $1.00 
each; 15 to 18 in., $1.50 each. 
HICKSI. Dwarf, closely columnar form. Foliage the 
darkest green of the family, and very dense from 
the ground up. Valuable for accent pieces. Any of 
the Yews may be sheared either for hedge or for 
specimens. 12 to 15 in., $1.25 each; 15 to 18 in., 
$2.00 each.
