^fflL MOON'S EVERGREENS iM^^ 



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, windbreaks and hedges.

Norway Spruce 



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 withstands 

 the bleak, cold winds of Winter. If left untrimmed 

 they spread out magnificently and make desirable 

 specimens. They make splendid windbreaks 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 ever- 

 greens. See illustrations on opposite page.
