GLENWOOD  NUI^SCFa^^  ™  , 
Picea  excelsa.  Norway  Spruce.  This,  our  com- 
mon Spruce,  embraces  more  desirable  features 
than  any  of  the  others.  It  is  rapid-growing  ; 
does  well  in  most  soils,  and  withstands  the 
bleak,  cold  winds  of  winter.  It  is  highly  valued 
for  shelters,  windbreaks  or  hedges.  The 
branches  become  pendulous  with  age.  If  left 
untrimmed,  they  spread  out  magnificently  over 
the  lawn,  and  make  desirable  specimens.  If 
pruned,  they  become  stately  trees  of  symmet- 
rical form.    See  also  Hedge  Plants.

var.  inverta.  Inverted  Spruce.  The  needles 
are  larger  and  brighter  than  those  of  the  spe- 
cies. The  lateral  branches  sprawl  about  in 
grotesque,  contorted  forms.  The  appearance 
is  extremely  odd,  and  the  unacquainted  stop 
to  admire  this  tree,  which  to  them  is  a  freak  of 
nature.  It  is  very  useful  on  lawns,  and  does 
much  to  break  the  regular  outline  of  other 
evergreens.    See  illustration,  page  8.

P,  pungens.  Colorado  Blue  Spruce.  It  is 
hardy,  vigorous,  long-lived  and  upright  in 
habit.  If  pruned,  it  becomes  dense  and  sym- 
metrical ;  if  untrimmed,  open  and  graceful. 
The  light  silvery  bltie  coloring  is  a  rare 
bestowal  of  nature,  and  one  she  has  saved  for 
these  grand  trees.  For  color  contrasts  in 
groups  of  evergreens,  or  as  ornaments  to  any 
lawn,  they  stand  without  a  peer.  In  seedlings 
the  color  is  variable — sometimes  almost  green.

var.  Kosteriana.  Roster's  Blue  Spruce. 
In  this  new  variety  the  color  is  a  deeper,  richer 
blue.  It  is  the  highest  type  of  Blue  Spruce 
and  one  that  cannot  be  too  highly  recom- 
mended. This  is  one  of  the  finest  ornamental 
evergreens  ever  introduced,  and  a  specimen 
or  two,  of  the  kind  of  trees  we  furnish,  on  the 
lawn,  adds  a  dignity  and  beauty  to  it  hard  to 
describe.  Our  stock  is  grafted  from  Roster's 
best  "  true  blue  "  trees.
