2'/4, inch pots, 10 for $9.00. 
TAXUS media, Pyramidalis (The Pyramid 
Yew)—Fastest growing of the new 
kinds, vertical branches and_ black- 
green needles. Probable 15 ft. height. 
A rich, showy, full-bushed column. 
——Pyramidalis robusta (Obelisk Yew) 
Even faster growth, probably to over 
20 ft. Otherwise the same. 
——stricta (Narrowbush Yew)—Needles 
short and thin, giving a compact effect, 
vertical branches and dwarf, narrow 
shape. Probable height 6 to 8 feet. 
——stricta viridis (Grassgreen Yew)— 
Similar in every way to stricta, except 
the needles, which are larger and gay 
bright green winter and summer.

Available Fall 1946: 3 kinds below, size 
and price to be announced in Fall 1946 
catalog. 
TAXUS media Sentinalis (Sentinel Yew) 
The oddest, most surprising shape of 
all. Just sufficiently clothed with nee- 
dles to hide the center stem. Probable 
height 12 to 15 feet. 
—-—pilaris (Pillar Yew)—The long nee- 
dles are quite narrow and medium 
dark. Shape is as narrow as could be 
desired—about half-way between Py- 
ramid Yew and Sentinel Yew. Branches 
slope upward; are short. Probable 
height 12 to 15 feet. 
—-—-pilaris grandifolia (Bigleaf Yew). 
Exactly similar in shape and growth, 
but the needles are enormous, almost 
as large as Sciadopitys. The effect is 
rich and unusual.
