Landscape Planting with Taxus media hicksi (Hick’s Yew) 
Evergreens 
Evergreens give permanent beauty all the year, 
carrying their beautiful richly colored foliage through 
the winter when deciduous trees and shrubs are 
leafless. Every home-builder, no matter how small 
the grounds, needs them. They not only provide 
privacy, but are indispensable for shelter and wind- 
breaks, hedges, backgrounds, and specimens in 
landscape work. The slow-growing and spreading 
varieties such as Yews and Junipers are available 
for use in house and garden plantings. Practically 
all evergreens require light and air. Yews and Hem- 
locks are the most tolerant of shade.

A large family of evergreens thriving in various soil con-
