EVERGREENS (Continued) 
TAXUS (Yew) 
Over twenty years ago, when the Yew was little used in 
the Middle West, we made plantings of this valuable ever- 
green, convinced 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. 
Taxus will grow under most conditions: while evergreens 
usually prefer sun, it does especially well in shade and stands 
city conditions better than any other evergreen of which we 
know. It also makes a beautiful hedge and can be trimmed 
into nearly any form. Taxus likes a rich loam; if soil is stiff 
clay, it is advisable to add peat moss. A good helping of 
rotted cow manure or Driconure mixed with the soil around 
the plant is very beneficial.
