Co (Pécea) 
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 recom- 
mend gern for permanent plantings of this type as they soon outgrow the space unless kept pruned 
severely,

YEWS (axa) 
The tendency in Evergreen plantings is towards better, dwarf, slow-growing, permanent plants rather 
than fast-growing less permanent varieties which frequently become outgrown and ineffective within a 
few years. No group of Evergreens has created such interest in recent years as the Yews—now by far 
the most important family of Coniferous Evergreens. 
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; variation of form, ease of training and pruning—also their 
adaptability to various soils and uses. Another prized feature of Yews is their scarlet berries, which fre- 
quently are borne in great profusion. 
Yews may be had with following habits of growth: Pyramidal, Columnar, Semi-Upright, and Spreading. 
These types have a place in modern landscape plantings. 
Hatfield (Taxus media hatfieldi). Compact, conical shape with upright branches and dense foliage. Semi- 
eiz0 habit. One of the best of its type. 15-18 in., $5.00; 18-24 in., $7.00; 24-30 in., $9.00; 30-36 in., 
2.00. 
Hicks’ (Taxus hicksi). An upright, columnar grower—but having more spread than Irish Juniper. Compact 
dark green foliage which retains its lustrous green color throughout the year. Entirely hardy and adapted 
to wide range of soils, but like all Yews, it responds to a deep fertile soil. Suitable for planting at en- Norway Spruce 
trances and corners in foundation plantings. Also may be used as specimens in formal gardens and 
other positions requiring a columnar type plant. 15-18 in., $4.00; 18-24 in., $5.50; 24-30 in., $7.50; 
30-36 in., $9.00; 36-42 in., $11.00; 42-48 in., $14.00; 48-54 in., $20.00. EVERGREEN HEDGES 
Japanese Pyramidal (Taxus cuspidata capitata). The normal growing habit of this Yew is pyramidal— Coniferous Evergreens make very satisfac- 
broad at the base and tapering towards the top—but may be sheared into other forms_if desired, as tory hedges. Require less shearing than Privet, 
Yews respond to pruning and become more compact from year to year when kept sheared. This pyramidal are hardy, and beautiful. Plant 3 to 4 ft. 
type is used extensively as an upright grower in foundation plantings, along with its companion, the apart. See pages 30 and 31 for descriptions and 
spreading Taxus cuspidata. Both are adapted to full sunlight and partial shade. Remains dark green at specimen prices. We 
all seasons of the year and retains its bright red berries for six months during fall and winter. 15-18 offer the following
