Norway 
(P. excelsa). No 
other variety of 
the spruces 1s 
quite so valuable 
for hedges, screens, 
or individual 
specimens. The 
foliage is bright 
green and the 
branches grow 
guite closely to- 
gether, thus form- 
ing a seeming 
mass of solid green 
color. The trees 
will grow to about 
40 feet in height, 
are extremely 
hardy, and when 
planted cn the 
windward side of 
buildings, prove 
one of the best 
windbreaks, pro- 
tecting the build- 
ings from cold and 
making the home 
more comfortable. 
As a hedge. the Norway Spruce 
trees should be clipped widest at the base, allowing the sun 
to reach all the branches. Each 10 100

Other Desirable Evergreens 
No planting of any sort around the home grounds is more 
attractive and desirable than evergreens. Some wonderfully fine 
effects can be made with two or three dozen 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 arborvitez, or with specimens of 
cypress and pines. FIR
