Conical or pyramidal Evergreen trees, many of 

 them of great hardiness and usefulness. They are 

 similar to the Firs in appearance, but easily dis- 

 tinguished by the drooping cones and four- 

 angled, spine-tipped leaves. The loftiness and 

 stately, spire-like crowns of the Spruces lend a 

 peculiar charm to the landscape, and many spe- 

 cies are useful as avenue trees and indispensable 

 for windbreak plantings. They thri\e in well- 

 drained soil, freely exposed to sun and air, and 

 do particularly well in the climate of the middle, 

 western, and northern states.
