AUTUMN CATALOGUE, 1927. 45 
HARDY CONIFERS.—Continued. 
PICEA glauca var. conica. Collected by the Arnold Arboretum near Laggan, Alberta, and described 
by them as follows: This very peculiar form of the Western White Spruce is of slow growth and 
} forms dense bushes of narrow conical shape, consisting of closely packed, thin and short branchlets. 
| The leaves are very different from the type and quite distinct. They are radially disposed around 
i the stem, thin and slender. Picea glauca var. conicea, on account of its very characteristic habit 
and aspect, promises to become one of the most favorite dwarf spruces; a rare and valuable plant.
