THE NOETH DAKOTA FAEMSTEAD 



NORWAY SPRUCE (Picea excelsa), is a tree that has been used 

 widely for shelter belt planting. The Black Hills Spruce should be 

 planted instead of this variety as it is better adapted to our prairie 

 conditions. 



COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE (Picea pungens), is an excellent, hardy 

 ornamental tree a specimen of which should be placed at the most 

 conspicuous point on the lawn. The high cost of the trees is due 

 to the fact that only a small portion of them are really blue.
