UPRIGHT JAPANESE YEW 
Janus Capitata 
This one form is probably the most useful and 
profitable of all evergreens . Grows in sun or 
shade; acid or normal soil; sandy or heavy. It 
is slow growing enough to require little care, 
and even if neglected temporarily it can still 
be brought back to specimen quality. 
Dwarf enough, by clipping, for foundation use, 
it makes a fine specimen when old and is the 
best evergreen hedge knowne It is well known 
and easily sold sight unseen, but attracts on 
sight, too. It sells for more money in propor- 
tion to its cost than most plants. 
OUR ADVICE: Let some of the cheaper shrubs go 
this year and plant some Yew seedlings to make 
yourself & real profit 4 to 10 years hence-= 
you can always sell Upright Yew, but you won't 
be able to buy more when these are gone :-

J.S.Westendarp,manager. These are picked 
as typical of the growth of upright Yew 
from seed when cultivated and fertilized. 
UNLESS perentage is known, Yew seed will make 
a hodge=-podge of shapes and colors.e Only from 
pure forest stands in Japan can come a4 pure 
strain of Upright Yew. We imported the last 
two years before the war the largest shipment 
of seed to arrive in USA of this species. One 
more crop of 2-year olds next year will be the 
last for years to come.
