Shrubs, Trees, Vines The Linn County Nurseries 
YEWS (TAXUS) are particularly valuable for planting in shady places and 
in cities where the smoky atmosphere is injurious to most evergreens. 
Their bright red fruits among the dark green leaves make them the most 
interesting of all evergreens in late summer. They stand much trimming, 
are long lived, and free from pests. Plant in the richest soil, well mixed 
with peat and humus. Need some shearing. They are of two general types: 
spreading, flat topped, and pyramidal.

SHRUBS, TREES AND VINES ENDURING SHADE 
Many people ask what plants to use in shady and other difficult places. 
Most plants like either full sun or morning sun and afternoon shade. Hem- 
lock, Honeysuckles, Mt. Laurel, Rhododendrons, Rhodotypus, The Viburnums 
and Yews will withstand more shade than most. Shady locations are usually 
deficient in moisture, humus and plant food. Humus can be supplied in the 
form of Leaf Mold, compost or peat. The following list will tolerate at least 
part shade. Do not expect shaded plants to bloom and fruit as freely. Those 
starred will endure drier soil.
