The Spruces and Firs {AHes and Picea) 
We woultl call especial attention to our stock of evergreens. They are not grown closely together 
in the rows or block, causing them to become slim and of poor shape, but each plant is given ample 
room to develop, so that the tree is as near perfect as possible. 
There is much confusion among authorities as to the Abies and Picea families, and we have embraced 
them both under the one general head, retaining the botanical names which we deem best.

Abies alba (White Spruce). 25 to 30 ft. A na-
