TAXUS—YEWS 
The Yews are widely distributed throughout the New and 
Old Worlds and are among the most extensively cultivated 
of evergreen trees and shrubs. Their greatest garden value 
is their adaptability to soil and position, thriving in sun or 
shade. In the list we are offering, you will find varieties for 
every place and purpose whether it be a tiny one for the rock- 
garden or one that will eventually grow into a tree of 60 feet 
or more high. We think most highly of them. 
Yews can be used for the most exacting planting. 
Here can be found a variety for any purpose.
