MOON'S EVERGREENS 



Picea. Spruce 



PROBABLY better known and more largely planted than any other family of evergreens. The 

 Spruces are hardy, rapid-growing, reliable in almost any location. They mature quickly and live to 

 a good, old age. They make beautiful trees when planted individually, and in groups and collections 

 they are just as effective. Some varieties are very effective as screens, wind-breaks and hedges. 



White Spruce 



Norway Spruce 



Picea alba. (L). Habit similar to the Norway 

 Spruce; distinguished by its attractive grayish blue 

 color. A hardy species of quick growth, especially 

 suited for coast and New England plantings. See

Picea Excelsa. (L)- This familiar Spruce is 

 more generally used than any of the others. It is 

 a rapid grower, does well in most soils, and with- 

 stands the l)leak, cold winds of Winter. If left un- 

 trimmed they spread out magnificently and make 

 desirable specimens. They make splendid wind- 

 breaks and shelter-belts. If planted as hedges and 

 sheared they become impenetrable, and as good for 

 this purpose as any evergreen. One of the most 

 inexpensive evergreens. See illustrations on oppo- 



site page. 



var. Coerulea. (M). Similar to the better- 

 known White Spruce, excepting that it is more 

 bluish in color. Its growth is also more open. 

 Useful in the same wavs.
