Hedge Yew. 
A hedge is often thought as 
living fence in preference 
to a wooden or iron fence, 
because it is alive and has 
beauty, a soft appearance. 
Especially when the hedge is 
formed by evergreens. There 
is no better evergreen suit- 
able for this purpose than 
- the Yew. The Yew we offer for 
this is known as Hedge Yew, 
raised especially for this 
purpose. It is quick growing 
with a full body. 
Sturdy trees- about 12 inches 
Each: $ 1.00 
Hatfield Yew. 
This is another of the newer 
Yews. It was developed by lvr. 
Hatfield, former superintendent 
of the Hunnewell estate at 
Wellesley, Mass. The Hatfield 
Yew is one of the compactest 
grower. Its form of growth is 
somewhat like the Hicks Yew, 
but a little more open on top. 
The foliage is very heavy and 
luxuriant, dark green in color.
