EVERGREEN HEDGES 
Coniferous Evergreens make very satisfactory 
hedges. Require less shearing than Privet, are hardy, 
and beautiful. Plant 3 to 4 ft. apart. See page 30 
for descriptions and specimen prices. We offer the 
following BGB plants suitable for hedges in lots of 
30 or more: 
Hemlock. 15-18 in., $1.75 each; 18-24 in., $2.75 
each. 
White Pine. 18-24 in., $2.75 each. 
A MODEL YEW FOUNDATION PLANTING 
For the Small Home 
The Yews are the most popular and economical of the Coniferous Evergreens because 
of their dwarf habit of growth, which makes them more permanent than the fast-growing 
Evergreens. This model foundation planting, with slight pruning and little care, will 
last almost indefinitely.

Especially desirable as specimens, but may be used as live, outdoor Christmas trees, screens 
and as a background for smaller type plants. Some used temporarily in foundation plantings 
but we do not recommend them for permanent plantings of this type as they soon outgrow 
the space unless kept pruned severely. 
Colorado Blue (Picea pungens glauca). Varies considerably in the degree of color. We offer 
in two classes—the Medium Blue and Selected Blue. Generally used as specimens on: the 
lawn or in groups with other Spruces and Pines.

YEWS (Tatue) 
The tendency in Evergreen piantings is towards the better, dwarf, slow-growing, perma- 
nent plants, rather than the fast-growing, less permanent varieties which frequently become 
overgrown and ineffective within a few years. No family of Evergreens has created such 
interest in recent times as the Yews. They are now by far the most important family of 
Coniferous Evergreens. 
The great interest in Yews is easily accounted for—their rich, dark green color, which 
is maintained at all seasons, in partial shade or full sunlight; the variation of form, ease 
of training and pruning—also their adaptability to various soils and uses. Another prized 
feature of the Yews is their scarlet berries, which frequently are borne in great abundance. 
We can furnish Yews with the following habits of growth: Pyramidal, Columnar, Semi- 
Upright, Spreading, and Compact Low-Growing Dwarf. These types have a place in modern 
landscape plantings, and are displacing numerous less desirable Evergreens. 
Brown’s (Taxus media Browni). Normally vase-shaped. Dense, compact, dark green. Me- 
dium grower, adapted to shearing. 15-18 im., $6.00; 18-24 in., $8.00; 24-30 in., $10.00. 
Dwarf Japanese (Taxus cuspidata nana). Low-growing, compact, spreading, slow grower. 
12-15 in., $6.00. 
Hatfield (Taxus media hatfieldi). Compact, conical shape with upright branches and dense 
foliage. Semi-dwarf habit. One of the best of its type. 15-18 im., $6.00; 18-24 in., $8.00; 
24-30 in., $10.00; 30-36 in., $13.50. 
Hicks’ (Taxus hicksi). An upright, columnar grower—but having more spread than the 
Irish Juniper. Compact, dark green foliage, which retains its lustrous green color throughout 
the year. Entirely hardy and adapted to a wide range of soils, but like all Yews, it re- 
sponds to a deep fertile soil. Suitable for planting at entrances and corners in foundation 
planting. Also may be used cs specimens in formal gardens and other positions. requiring 
a columnar type plant. 15-18 in., $5.00; 18-24 in., $6.00; 24-30 in., $8.00; 30-36 in., 
$10.50; 36-42 in., $13.50; 42-48 in., $20.00. 
Japanese Pyramidal (Taxus cuspidata capitata). The normal growing habit of this Yew is 
pyramidal—broad at the base and tapering towards the top—but may be sheared into 
other forms if desired, as the Yews respond to pruning and become more compact from 
year to year when kept sheared. This pyramidal type is used extensively as an upright 
grower in foundation plantings, along with its companion, the 
spreading Taxus cuspidata. Both are adapted to full sunlight 
and partial shade. Remains dark green at all seasons of the 
year, and retains its bright red berries for six moniths during 
fall and winter. 15-18 in., $5.00; 18-24 in., $6.00; 24-30 in., 
$8.00; 30-36 in., $10.50; 36-42 in., $13.50; 42-48 in., $20.00. 
Japanese Spreading (Taxus cuspidata). Wide, spreading habit, 
the width exceeding the height. Dark green foliage and red 
berries, the same as the Pyramidal Yew. Adapted to both full 
sunlight and partial shade, making it the most useful of all 
spreading type Coniferous Everrgeens. 15-18 in., $5.00; 18-24 
in., $6.00; 24-30 im., $8.00; 30-36 in., $10.50.
