THE YEWS (Taxus) 
The finest small and medium-size ever- 
greens are in this group. Yews grow in 
sun or shade and are remarkably free from 
pests and diseases. They will grow in al- 
most any soil except one that is wet and 
soggy. Good drainage is the one definite 
requirement. The foliage of Taxus is pleas- 
ing, dark green and combines well with 
any other evergreens. Cold winter winds 
will not burn the foliage of a yew. 
A certain amount of trimming is needed 
on most varieties to maintain dense _ foli- 
age and proper form. Just lop off straggly 
branches as they appear and trim lightly 
all over once a year. If necessary, extreme- 
ly heavy shearing may be practiced with- 
out harm. Yews make excellent hedges. 
Many varieties of yews are in existence. 
We offer several varieties that cover the 
major habits of growth so that you may 
find a type for any purpose. Some varie- 
ice produce attractive red berries in the 
all.
