PITTSVILLE, MARYLAND 21 
TAXUS (Yew) 
It is only in the past few years that nurserymen in the 
United States have begun to really appreciate and grow the 
Yew. In England there are Yews more than a hundred 
years old, but unfortunately the English Yew (Taxus bac- 
cata) is not reliably hardy in the north, and many do not 
realize that the Japanese, and many forms of Media, are 
perfectly hardy in and around Boston, and the Japanese 
even in northern New England. 
They are not so particular as to character of soil except 
that it should not be too wet, but they do appreciate plenty 
of good plant food. They are immune to many insect pests 
and plant diseases so destructive to many other evergreens. 
The Yew in its many species and forms can well be used 
in most all places where any other evergreen will do well. 
We honestly believe you will do well to plant and grow on 
some of these Yews.

Canadensis (Canadian Yew). Low shrub usually diffuse and 
straggling but occasionally ascending and up to 6 feet tall. 
The hardiest of the Yews, but less handsome than the 
other species, one of the chief drawbacks being the reddish 
tinge the foliage assumes in winter.
