THE JAPANESE YEWS 
No family of evergreens has attained such 
popularity in recent years. The dark green 
foliage and red berries, the ease of trans- 
planting, the hardiness and freedom from dis- 
ease, justify this popularity. The Yew grows 
well in sun or shade, as individual specimens, 
or used in a group or hedge planting. 
JAPANESE YEW (Taxus cuspidata). Low and 
spreading, this type is generally broader 
than it is high. Excellent for hedges or foun- 
dation plantings. 
UPRIGHT JAPANESE YEW (T. cuspidata capi- 
tata). Upright, cone-shaped form of medium 
growth. Very desirable for hedges or foun- 
dation plantings. 
HATFIELD YEW (T. cuspidata hatfieldi). Bushy 
luxuriant foliage, resembling Hicks’ Yew, 

PFITZER’S JUNIPER growing with several upright perpendicular 
stems. Nearly as broad at the bottom as 
at the top. 
HICKS’ YEW (T. cuspidata hicksi). This is a columnar form, with 
branches ascending almost vertically. The long, rich green 
needles make a very luxuriant plant. 
DWARF JAPANESE YEW (T. cuspidata nana). Very bushy, slow 
growing evergreen, almost blackish in color. A low, irregular 
and very picturesque plant. 
Thuja - Arborvitae 
AMERICAN ARBORVITAE (Thuja occidentalis). A native evergreen 
of close, vigorous growth, with almost flat scale-like foliage. 
Color is deep green, turning to bronze in the winter months. 
COLUMBIA ARBORVITAE (T. occidentalis columbia). An exceed- 
ingly attractive form. The foliage is broad and beautifully marked 
with splashes of silver-gray. 
GLOBE ARBORVITAE (T. occidentalis globosa). Globe, or ball- 
shaped Arborvitae, with typical Arborvitae foliage. Very 
compact. 
PEABODY GOLDEN ARBORVITAE (T. occidentalis lutea). A bright 
golden yellow Arborvitae of dense habit, with short branches 
growing into pyramidal shape. 
MOSS ARBORVITAE (T. occidentalis plicata). A tall, sturdy pyra- 
midal tree. The branches are shorter than the American type, 
and the foliage darker green and fan shaped. 
GLOVE ARBORVITAE PYRAMIDAL ARBORVITAE (T. occidentalis pyramidalis). A most 
valuable upright evergreen, of dense compact habit. Foliage 
light green; columnar form, similar to Irish Juniper or erect Yew. 
ROSENTHAL ARBORVITAE (T. occidentalis rosenthali). Broad, sym- 
metrical, pyramidal shaped. Foliage rich dark green and 
compact. 
VERVAENE ARBORVITAE (T. occidentalis vervaeneana). Smaller 
and denser than the American Arborvitae. The twigs are slender 
and the foliage is of a yellow tone. 
JAPANESE YEW WARE ARBORVITAE (T. occidentalis wareana). One 
TRIMMED FOR HEDGE of the most desirable of the evergreens, growing 
much wider at the base in proportion to its height. 
Foliage is a light shiny green. 

WOODWARD ARBORVITAE (T. occidentalis wood- 
wardi). Compact, ball-sshaped evergreen with very 
compact branches. Slightly larger than the Globe 
Arborvitae. 
Tsuga - Canada Hemlock 
CANADA HEMLOCK (Tsuga canadensis). A fine ever- 
green with dark green needles and graceful, droop- 
ing branching habit. Does well in the shade, but 
needs protection from the wind, too sunny a winter 
location, and too dry ground.
