WEST VIRGINIA EXPERIMENT STATION. 



Fig. IV. Norway Spruce, (Abies excelsia.) branches and cones, 

 one half natural size. 



About 



raercial purposes quite as well as the name black or red spruce, 

 to indicate the only two timber spruce we have in the State, 

 the products of which are nearly or quite alike in every 

 respect. 



It must be remembered that the spruce is quite a different 

 tree from the hemlock, (Fig. II,) which in sections where the 

 true spruce does not grow is sometimes called spruce.
