 symmetrical, broadly pyramidal habit and quite rapid 

 in growth. Its greatest charm, however, lies in the 

 bright, steel blue color of its massive foliage. It is of 

 the greatest hardihood; enduring with impunity a tem- 

 perature far below zero, and succeeds even at the sea- 

 side where almost all other varieties of evergreen trees 

 succumb to the salt laden air. (See cut). 1 1-2 feet,

 furnished with many fibrous roots. 2 feet, 40c; 3 feet, 

 75c; 4 feet, ^i.OO each. 



—WEEPING NORWAY. (Picea excelsa pendula).—
