To those well acquainted with the various Yews, it isknown that of the English Taxus baccata and its va-rieties there is not one of them of sufficient hardinessto withstand the Winters of our colder States. Evenin the northern portion of Pennsylvania it is difficultto succeed with them unless they are in well shelteredpositions.

It is these facts that makes the Japanese Yew, Taxus?cuspidata, and its variety, brevifolia, so much appreci-ated. Both are hardy, even where zero weather is com-mon, so that Yews may now beplanted further north than waspossible before.
