EVERGREENS (Continued) 
TAXUS (Yew) 
Almost two decades ago, when the Yew was hardly used 
in the Middle West, we made plantings of this valuable ever- 
green, convinced as we were that it would become the leading 
evergreen in the Middle West if not in the entire North. 
Constant trials gave us a thorough knowledge of this plant 
in midwest conditions and we now possess one of the finest 
collections of Taxus. Taxus will grow under almost all condi- 
tions, and especially in shade. While most evergreens prefer 
sun, Taxus will do in dense shade and stands city conditions 
better than any evergreen we know of. It also makes a 
beautiful hedge and can be trimmed in almost any form. 
Taxus like a rich loam, if stiff clay it is advisable to add 
peatmoss or sand. A good helping of rotted cow manure or Dri- 
conure mixed with the soil around the plant is very beneficial.
