Eastern or Oriental Spruce. This variety being 

 one of the slower growing spruces makes it espe- 

 cially suitable for planting in small parks and on 

 lawns or wherever a beautiful specimen tree is 

 desired. The specimen pictured above is growing 

 on an estate where Moons' trees have been exten- 

 sively planted. 



Eastern or Oriental Spruce 



Picea Orientalis. (L). Short, lustrous, dark 

 green needles of finer texture than those of the 

 Norway Spruce, which it resembles. Its habit is 

 symmetrical and compact, forming a shapely, 

 pyramidal tree. It is hardy, and one of our best 

 evergreens for groups and specimens. Its many 

 good virtues commend it for more general use.
