Picea. spruce 



PROBABLY better known and more largely 

 planted than any other family of ever- 

 greens. 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 indi- 

 vidually, and in groups and collections they are 

 just as effective. Some varieties are very effect- 

 ive as screens, windbreaks and hedges. 



Yesso Spruce. Picea Ajanensis. (L). A 

 tall pyramidal tree with nearly horizontal bran- 

 ches. The light brown cones occurring on 

 comparatively young trees are an attractive 

 feature.

White Spruce 



Norway Spruce 



Picea Alba. (L). This tree is a native of the cold 

 regions between Labrador and Alaska. It has been 

 brought to this section of the country and thrives 

 here, forming a fine shapely tree of medium growth. 

 It is very similar in habit to the Norway Spruce, but 

 is distinguished by the attractive grayish blue color. 

 For windbreaks and screen plantings, this tree 

 cannot be surpassed. As a specimen, it is also 

 very valuable.

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 this and opposite page.
