Picea  orientalis,  continued

Picea  polita.  Tiger-Tail  Spruce.  (M)  A  pe- 
cuhar  and  rare  tree,  with  long,  slender,  gro- 
tesque branches.  Valued  in  rockeries  and  as  1 
a  specimen.  3^  to  4^2  feet,  I3. 
P.  pungens.  Colorado  Blue  Spruce.  (M)  It 
is  hard}',  vigorous,  long-lived  and  upright  in 
habit.  If  pruned,  it  becomes  dense  and  sym- 
metrical ;  if  untrimmed,  open  and 
graceful.  The  light  silvery  blue  col- 
oring is  a  rare  bestowal  of  nature, 
and  one  she  has  saved  for  these 
grand  trees.  For  color  contrasts  in 
groups  of  evergreens,  or  as  orna- 
ments to  any  lawn,  they  stand  with- 
out a  peer.  In  seedlings  the  color 
is  variable — sometimes  almost  green.

Spruce.  (M)  In  this  new  variety 
the  color  is  a  deeper,  richer  blue.

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.
