Yews (Taxus) — Are particularly valuable for planting 
to shady places and in cities where the smoky atmos- 
phere 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. 
Japanese—Japanese Yew, spreading T. cuspilata—4-6 
ft. A spreading irregular, bush form. Can be kept 
low by a little shearing.
