FOR FAST GROWING TALL HEDGES 
BIGHEDGE YEW (Taxus media hedgeform). Undoubtedly the fastest 
growing among hardy Yews. Established hedges of this strain have been 
known to grow from 12 to 16 inches a year for several years in succes- 
sion, not thin and scrawny, but filling in bushily as they grew. This is 
probably the only strain of Yew that will in our severe climate duplicate 
the famous old Yew Hedges of England. And this most desirable habit of 
growth is by no means its only merit feature — the color and texture 
are especially beautiful. This is the best YEW for hedges 8 to 12 feet 
tall, and possibly taller, 
_ FOR MEDIUM-SMALL HEDGES 
HATFIELD YEW (Taxus media 
hatfieldi). Slower-growing than the 
preceding variety. Almost black-green 
in color. Very dense and neat in habit. 
Its best use is in hedges to be kept 
pruned to heights ranging from 2!/5 to 
5 or occasionally 6 feet. Also makes 
a beautiful egg-shaped specimen when 
planted separately. 
PRICES OF HYBRID YEWS 
POSTPAID east of the Mississippi 
River, 3 to 4 year grade, thrice trans- 
planted, 7 to 10 inches tall — 25 or 
more plants @ 80¢ each. Less than 
25 plants @ $1.00 each. For destina- 
tion west of the Mississippi add 7%. 
HARDY PLANTS 
We do NOT sell you pampered plants; we do NOT coddle them under 
shade and behind windbreaks. 
When six months old we transplant them into the open field, where 
they are exposed to the full glare of the sun and the sweep of the wind, 
summer and winter alike. 
In this way we grow our plants pre-toughened to withstand moving 
into your garden with the minimum set-back. 
Please do not misunderstand us; even our tough hardy plants can NO 
endure utter neglect. But given the normal care which all plants should 
receive, our plants will give you superlatively pleasing results. 
HEAVY ROOT SYSTEMS 
The composite picture on the opposite page is from actual photo- 
graphs of the grade of plants we furnish you. 
There will be a little variation in height and branching. An occasional 
plant will be smaller; many of them will be heavier. 
One factor universally common to all — and the most important fac- 
tor, promoting their success in YOUR garden — is the heaviness of the 
root systems found on all of our plants — as you will note in these 
photographs. Pippi
