HARRISONS' NURSERIES 



The Spruces 



All the Spruces grow as upright trees, tapering to a pointed top. For orna- 

 mental plantings and windbreaks they are almost invaluable. They are not 

 surpassed by any evergreen in the winter landscape, the shadings of Koster's 

 and Colorado Blue, of Douglas, or of the White Spruce harmonizing with the 

 deep coloring of pines and hemlocks in a most pleasing fashion. 



(P. pungens glauca 

 Kosteriana) . Foli- 

 age intense silvery 

 blue and very dense on the branch ends; rapid grower and 



KOSTER'S BLUE 



The hand- 

 somest 

 lawn tree 



has regular, slim branches. Our trees are grafted from the 

 finest specimens and have the rich blue color that makes the Koster's 

 Spruce so handsome. We cut scions from the bluest and handsomest speci- 

 mens we can find, and graft them on sturdy seedling roots. This insures 

 that every specimen will be of the true blue color. Seedling Blue Spruces 

 often revert to the green type after a few years. Each 10
