Norway 



(P. exceUa). ^o 

 other variety of 

 the spruces is 

 quite so valuable 

 for hedges, screens, 

 or individual 

 specimens. The 

 foliage is bright 

 green and the 

 branches grow 

 :iuite closely to- 

 gether, thus form- 

 ing a s e -^ ;ii i D g 

 mass of solid green 

 col'>r. The trees 

 will grow to about 

 40 feet in height, 

 are extremely 

 hardy, and when 

 planted on the 

 windv.-ard sid ' of 

 buildings, prove 

 one of the bf^st 

 windbreaks, pro- 

 tecting the build- 

 ings from cold and 

 making the h'line 

 more comfortable. 

 As a hedge, the 



Norway 



trees should be clipped widest at the base, 



allowing 



the sun 



to reach all the branches. Each

Other Desirable Evergreens 



Xo planting of any sort around the home grounds is more 

 attractive and dei-irable than evergreens. Some wonderfully fine 

 effects can be made with two or three doz^n different sorts, or 

 even two or three dozen of one variety. Even in the smallest 

 yard there are possibilities for grouping, or for foundation plant- 

 ings. If there is an unsightly bank, a pile of rocks, or even a 

 low spot near your home, they may be made beautiful with a 

 dwarf or trailing juniper and arborvitse, or with specimens of 

 cypress and pines. FIR
