TAXUS (YEWS) 
Taxus baccata (English Yew} 
This is the old favorite of English gardens. Native of Europe and North 
Africa to the Himalayas. Deep green, rapid growing in good soil, very dense. 
Will do quite well in poor soil and in dry situations. One of the best of all 
hedge plants, as it will stand any amount of pruning. Thrives in either sun 
or shade. The English Yew has this great advantage in hedges, in common 
with all the yews: the trees make uniform growth all along the line regardless 
of sun or shade. Hardy evergreen.

Taxus baccata erecta (Broom Yew} 
A columnar form of the English Yew of fine erect form of growth. Compact 
and full but not quite as narrow as the Irish Yew and having smaller 
needles. The foliage is dark, rich green and together with the shapely form, 
sets this tree out in deservedly delightful manner. Very superior for narrow 
hedges where real quality is desired.

Taxus cuspidata (Japanese Yew) | 
This beautiful yew is a native of the Orient and is hardy, strong and dwarf. 
It is a spreading tree and in older specimens may reach a spread of 20 feet 
and height of 8 feet. Cuspidata is fine for hedges and can be held to a 
superb dwarf hedge only 12 to 15 inches tall as it can stand any amount of 
pruning. It is equally good for medium hedges and is perfectly adapted to 
small homes. Has deep green foliage. Its long and continued use speaks 
much for the quality and desirability of the Japanese Yew. One of the most 
satisfactory of all dwarf evergreens for specimen and foundation use.
