Yew and Non-Yew

Yew and Non-Yew by Bartholomew, James. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780099272069.

"James Bartholomews Yew and Non-Yew is the Official Preppy Handbook for the gardening set. (The title comes from the British terms U and non-U, used to define upper-class and non-upper-class behavior. Bartholomew calls the yew tree the ultimate U plant.) Smart and funny, its the ideal guide for anyone who has ever felt insecure about underplantings. The book covers everything from the top Yew roses (Comte or Comtesse dAnywhere and Souvenir dAnything) to why Yew vegetable gardens contain no vegetables. The book is Anglo-centric, but then again, so are most garden snobs." House & Garden
