HARDY CONIFERS.— Confenwed. 



PICEA glauca var. eonica. 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 

 the stem, thin and slender. Picea glauca var. coniea, on account of its very characteristic habit 

 and aspect, promises to become one of the most favorite dwarf spruces; a rare and valuable plant.
