The same fine, compact form as the Shiners, but with 
clear green or slightly blue-green foliage. Some- 
times but not always, they develop a blue color with 
age. : 
—Servian Spruce, Picea omorika. __..........00.0000200....ceceeeeeeeeee eee 
An attractive, slow growing, dense, pyramidal tree 
reaching considerable height. Leaves bright green, 
with white strips above. 
YEWS (TAXUS) are particularly valuable for planting 
in shady places and cities where the smoky atmos- 
phere is injurious to many evergreens. Their 
bright red fruits among the dark green leaves make 
them the most interesting of all evergreens in late 
summer. They stand much trimming, are long lived, 
and free from pests. Plant in rich soil, well mixed 
with peat and humus. 
We have thousands of small Yews growing in the 
field but the supply of larger sizes is very limited, 
and we prefer that prospective buyers write for 
available sizes and prices of kinds wanted. ‘Trees 
of several other varieties can be furnished in some 
sizes but in limited number.

—cuspidata media hicksi, Hick’s Yew. 8-10 ft. —............ 
A very narrow, columnar, compact form with very 
darkest green foliage. The best columnar tree for a 
shady place. Endures considerable heat.

low by a little shearing.

Cut back the top so 
only two or three of the stronger canes are left six inches long, and plant a 
Sun until about 2 p.m. 
little deeper than they grew, in well-drained rich soil. 
then shade, is the ideal exposure.
