Intermedia Yew 
The three Yews shown on this page are here illustrated, we be- 
lieve, for the first time in any catalog. We feel that these trees are 
all of outstanding merit and we predict they will all find ready 
acceptance among planters. 
Hatfield Yew 

Brown’s Yew 
Intermedia Yew 
(Taxus cuspidata intermedia) 
FORM developed by the Cot- 
tage Gardens, Queens, Long 
Island. At first glance it 
closely resembles the old Dwarf 
Japanese Yew (Taxus cuspidata 
nana), as it has the same heavy, deep 
green waxy foliage. It is, however, 
a much faster grower, due perhaps 
in part to the fact that it starts to 
grow a week or ten days earlier than 
other Yews. An ideal subject for 
hedges or any use requiring trees of 
dwarf habit. 
Brown’s Yew 
(Taxus cuspidata browni) 
SELECTED seedling of the 
Taxus cuspidata. Developed 
by the Cottage Gardens, 
Queens, Long Island, New York, 
and named for Mr. Robert Brown of 
that firm. It has dark, heavy green 
foliage, is a fast grower and has a 
most attractive habit. The normal 
development is somewhat more up- 
right than the true Taxus cuspidata 
as shown in the picture. The exact 
form may vary somewhat with 
trimming. 
We have sold this variety for the 
last five years and it has already 
proven a popular and valuable addi- 
tion to the Yew family. 
Hatfield Yew 
(Taxus cuspidata hatfieldi) 
HIS is one of the more widely 
known of the hybrid forms de- 
veloped by the late Mr. Hat- 
field, for many years superintendent 
of the Hunnewell Estate at Welles- 

For shady spots, no Evergreen sur- 
passes the Japanese Yew 

Sh je SR 
Yews are excellent material for foun- 
dation grouping 
ley, Mass. In habit it resembles the Hick’s Yew somewhat, growing with 
several upright perpendicular stems, nearly as broad at the bottom as at the 
top. The color is rich dark green, the foliage is heavy and luxuriant.
