NEW CHINESE SPRUCES. 

 Introduced by the Arnold Apboretum. 



Pleea asperata. A Spruce from Northwestern China, verj- 

 glaucous in appearance, hence the colloquial name Yun sha 

 (Cloudy Fir). All the varieties of P. asperata are of dense 

 growth, and the purplish coloring of the young foliage makes 

 them strikingly beautiful in the early Summer. 



asperata var. notabllis. This variety differs from the preced- 

 ing, chiefly in the cones, the scales of which are rhombicovate 

 in outline. 



asperata var. ponderosa. This handsome variety is remark- 

 able for its large cones. 



Balfouriana. One of the tallest of the Chinese Spruces. 



montlgena. The short, stout bristly leaves are of shining 

 green and more or less glaucescent.
