BULLETIN 1264, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



blue spruce is much more intolerant than either Engelmann spruce or 

 Norway spruce planted under similar conditions, and that it can not 

 be planted very successfully under shade as dense as aspen of inter- 

 mediate density. Although 3-1 stock was not available for field 

 planting, it is probable that because of the similarity of blue spruce 

 to the other two spruces grown in the region, this age class of stock 

 would in most cases be somewhat more desirable than that used.
