SSSvm Rocky W°ur\uin evergreem 
THE following three Evergreens have become famous not only in our country but abroad 
for their exquisite beauty. Since the first of the Rocky Mountain explorers returned with 
glowing accounts of that wonderful country much has been written of their grandeur in their 
habitat. These Evergreens have proved to be perfectly suitable for planting here in the east; 
in fact, do so much better than most of the European evergreens which have been so freely 
used in the past that they are likely to largely supercede them in the near future for gen- 
eral planting. They will thrive in almost any location where the ground is well drained and 
will stand the most severe exposure. 
Colorado Blue Spruce — Picea Pungens. 
See above illustration of vigorous young tree. 
Perhaps the most popular evergreen now planted in the east and the demand, especially 
for the blue specimens, is equal to the supply. We have a large stock of medium-sized 
trees, all several times transplanted and many of them of very fine color.

CoilCOlor SpniCe — Abies Concolor. 
Another of these beautiful spruces of rapid growth and undoubtedly withstands exposure 
to heat and drought better than any other evergreen. Its general appearance is so striking 
that it commands attention wherever planted and is universally admired.

prices. Specimens. 2^4 ft. to 3 ft., Each, $3.75. 
Douglas Spruce— {Pseudotsuga Dougiasu.) 
A graceful evergreen partaking somewhat of the character of our native hemlock in this 
respect. It is a most rapid grower, far exceeding the Norway Spruce. Where it is native 
it forms immense forests and is an important timber tree. It succeeds splendidly m. tM 
eastern states and bids fair to supercede the Norway Spruce where quick effects are desired, 
as its general appearance is much more effective owing to its softer and more graceful 
habit. It makes a fine specimen tree, or if planted in groups or as wind breaks it is also 
effective.
