dwarf variety, hardly ever growing more than

of dwarf and compact habit; foliage a glaucous

erect-growing symmetrical tree. Foliage finer 

 and better than Norway Spruce, and in every

 Desirable. 



— polita. Tiger Tail Spruce. 25 feet. A slow 



grower, but distinct and valuable on account of 

 its color and hardiness. Rare and invaluable. 



— pungens. Colorado Spruce. 25 feet. From the 



Rocky Mountains. A tree of great value; 

 hardy in all locations; of good habit and form, 

 and in color a cheerful tint of green. 



gl ailca . 25 feet. The Colorado Spruce 



seedlings are variable in color, running from 

 light green to intense steel blue. They are 

 alike in form and habit. Here we place our 

 carefully selected blue seedlings, some of which 

 in color rival the famous Koster's strain, and 

 all surpass it in form and habit. 



Kosteriana. Koster's Blue Spruce. 20 



feet. A strain of intense color and longer 

 needles; preserved by grafting. They are uni- 

 formly reliable, and best for that reason. 



pendula. Koster's Weeping Blue Spruce. 



20 feet. This tree maintains the form and 

 has the color of the type, but has in addition a 

 most graceful and regular weeping habit, mak- 

 ing it most interesting and desirable.

the white Pine, but with longer and pendulous

Pine with foliage tint of a blue Spruce and you 

 will have a fair idea of the beauty of this tree.
