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 (axe) 
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 in., $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 in., $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 as 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. 
EVERGREEN HEDGES (Taxus cuspidata capitata). The normal growing habit of this Yew is 
Japanese Pyramidal A 
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

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. ‘ 
2 Hicks’ Yew. For each side of entrance. 
4 Japanese Spreading Yews. Under windows.
