Skimmia japonica 
Densely branched, low growing shrub, reaching a height and spread of 3 feet. 
Valued for its broad lustrous foliage and brilliant red fruit which is often 
carried throughout the winter. Desirable for potting and for Christmas use. 
Likes partly shaded situations best and is fine for borders. It is unisexual 
and it will be necessary to plant male plants with the female ones to secure 
well fruited shrubs.

TAXUS (YEWS) 
Taxus baccata (English Yew) 
This is the old favorite of English gardens. Native of Europe and north 
Africa to the Himalayas. Deep green, rapid growing in good soil, very dense. 
Will do quite well in poor soil and in dry situations. One of the best of all 
hedge plants, as it will stand any amount of pruning. Thrives in either sun 
or shade. The English Yew has this great advantage in hedges, in common 
with all the yews, the trees make uniform growth all along the line regard- 
less of sun or shade. Hardy evergreen.
