on the lawn. 2 ft., 60c. ea. ; 3 ft., $1 each. 

 Compact Colorado Blue Spruce (Picea pungens glanca compacfa) . 



An improved form of the justly popular Coloiado Blue Spruce. It is of 



untold beauty ; the most valuable and beautiful of all evergreen trees. 



It has the same rich blue color of Kostet's variety of the Colorado Blue 



Spruce and the same ironclad hardihood, but is more compact and 



dense in mike up ; of symmetrical, pyramidal habit and quite rapid in 



growth. Its greatest charm, however, lies in the bright steel-blue color of its massive foliage. It is One of the 



few evergreens that succeed at the seaside, where almost all others succumb to the salt-laden air, and is so 



hardy it endures a temperature far below zero. (See cut, page 5.) Specimen trees, 3^ ft high, $4.50 ea. 

 Norway Spruce {Picea excelsa). The most largely planted and the most popular of all evergreen trees. 



Often employed for hedge planting for screens and windbreaks. The trees I offer have been frequently trans- 

 planted, hence are dense and well furnished with many fibrous roots. 2 ft., 40 cts. each ; 3 ft., 70 cts. each; 4 



ft , $1 each. 



Compact Norway Spruce (Picea excelsa compacta). A compact form of the last-named variety. 3 ft., $2 ea.

 fasti^iate habit. 4 ft., $2.50 each.
