PICEA • The Spruces 
No other family of evergreens is likely to be better known or more 
largely planted than the Spruces. They are splendidly fitted for individ- 
ual planting, and develop into grand specimens; or they are just as 
effective for groups, collections, and windbreaks. Generally they are 
rapid growers, attaining a good age and thrive in almost any except wet 
soils. 
Picea alba (White Spruce). Resembles the Norway Spruce to a cer- 
tain extent, but of nobler structure. Makes an excellent hedge. It is 
destined to become one of our most popular Spruces. The needles are 
bluish gray-green, x to 2 ft.. Si; 2 to 3 ft., Si. 50 to $2.50. We will 
quote special prices in quantity for hedging. 
P. Alcockiana (Alcock's Spruce). Of a fine, upright-growing habit, 
with slender branches; needles dark, glossy green above, beautiful silvery 
blue beneath. Very hardy and useful variety. 2 to 3 ft., S2.75; 3 to 4 ft., 
S3 to $3.50. 
P. Engelmanni (Engelmann's Spruce). A desirable form of Spruce for 
ornamental planting; has a resemblance to the well-known Blue Spruce, 
but is of softer appearance and more distinct in color. 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 
3 to 4 ft.. $3. 
P. excelsa (Norway Spruce). Probably more in use than any other 
Spruce, being inexpensive and a very rapid grower. If allowed to de- 
velop into a natural specimen it becomes a great tree, most beautiful in 
outline; but if planted and treated as a hedge, the Norway Spruce is 
impenetrable. This is also the true Christmas tree. 1 to 2 ft., 75 cts.; 
2 to 3 ft., Ji; 3 to 4 ft., J1.50; 4 to 5 ft., 52.50; 5 to 6 ft.. $4 to *5. 15 per 
cent less if ordered in lots of ten or more. 
P. orientalis (Eastern Spruce). This Spruce forms a very symmetrical, 
compact pyramid, with short, dark, rich green needles. Hardy and 
valuable for every purpose. 1 to 2 ft., $1.50; 2 to 3 ft., 53. 
P. pungens (Colorado Spruce). The original form, of which the 
famous Colorado Blue Spruce is a variety. It is very hardy and of great 
beauty. The color of the very stiff needles is a dull bluish green. 2 to 
3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., S3. 50. 
P. pungens Kosteriana (Roster's Blue Spruce). Our grafted stock is 
all true and uniform in color, the cuttings being made from the very 
best blue specimens. For hardiness and rare beauty it is hardly sur- 
passed. Very popular. \'/z to 2 ft., $2; 2 to 3 ft., ?4; 3 to 4 ft., S5; 4 to 
5 ft., Iio; 5 to 6 ft., specimens, $12 to $15. 
PINUS The Pines 
This genus of well-known evergreens includes our most beautiful 
park and lawn trees, as well as our invaluable forest tiees. They are so 
manifold in habit and character, that a suitable tree may be found 
amongst the Pines for almost any place and location. They are extremely 
hardy and vigorous growers, but prefer a well-drained soil, and will not 
succeed in stagnant moisture. 
Pinus austriaca (Austrian Pine). Probably the hardiest of all Pines, 
therefore especially adapted to open, windy locations. Of very vigorous, 
healthy growth and massive form. The needles are heavy and long, of 
a glossy, dark green. 2 to 3 ft., $2.50; 3 to 4 ft., $4. 
P. Cembra (Swiss Stone Pine). A distinct, upright-growing tree of 
symmetrical growth; the needles are of a silvery gray. 2 to 3 ft., $3; 
3 to 4 ft., $4. 
P. Mughus (Mugho Pine). This is a distinct Alpine species, and very 
interesting. Of dwarf, spreading habit, on rocky hillsides it becomes 
quite prostrate, crawling for many feet flat over the ground. Dark green 
and as hardy as a rock. 1 to 1)^ ft., $2; 1T2 to 2 ft., $3. 
P. Strobus (White Pine). One of our finest native evergreens, form- 
ing a noble, graceful tree of characteristic appearance. It is not particular 
as to soil, and will thrive on almost sterile sand, but likes the company 
of other trees and evergreens. 2 to 3 ft., Ji; 3 to 4 ft., $2; 4 to 5 ft., 
$3. Special prices will be quoted on large quantities and smaller sizes 
for reforesting. 
P. sylvestris (Scotch Pine). A strong, vigorous grower, therefore 
useful in mass and screen plantings. Spreading branches; stiff, bluish 
green needles. 2 to 3 ft., Si. 50; 3 to 4 ft.. $2.50; 4 to 5 ft., $3.50. 
PSEUDOTSUGA 
Pseudotsuga Douglasii (Douglas Spruce). This beautiful evergreen 
resembles a spruce, but is botanically different. Of graceful, symmetrical 
growth, it is valued highly as a specimen as well as in collections. The 
needles are soft and dark green, often showing a glaucous shade. 2 to 
3 ft.. $2; 3 to 4 ft., $3; 4 to 5 ft., $4.50. 
RETINOSPORA 
The Japan Cypress 
The trees of this class of evergreens are characterized by their beau- 
tiful. feathery appearance and pyramidal growth, although they include 
a few species of dwarf habit. The differing varieties assume quite 
distinct colors and habit, being constant and attiactive at all seasons. 
Retinospora obtusa (Obtuse-leaved Retinospora). One of the most 
valuable of its genus and of noble and graceful appearance. The fern- 
like, soft green foliage, arranged in fiat filaments, retains its beauty and 
color at all seasons. Healthy, vigorous, and upright grower, its many 
merits cannot be overestimated. Extremely hardy. 2 to 3 ft., $253 to 
4 ft., $3.50. 
R. obtusa nana. An extremely dwarf form and of true Japanese 
appearance. The dark, shining green leaves are arranged in flattened 
layers, rising above each other, giving it a distinct individuality all of 
its own. It dwarfs itself without any human help and, although reaching 
a very great age, it will barely reach a height of 3 feet. 1 to iJ4 ft., $2; 
i'/2 to 2 ft., S2.50. 
R. obtusa nana aurea. Quite similar in habit and appearance to 
the above, with beautiful golden foliage of lasting quality. 1 to i>4 ft., 
S2.50; 1 x / 2 to 2 ft., 53. 
R. pisifera (Pea-fruited Retinospora). The airy and slender branches 
of this pretty Retinospora are open and gracefully arranged; the foliage 
is of light green above with a silvery sheen beneath. 2 to 3 ft., S2; 
3 to 4 ft., $3- 
R. pisifera aurea (Golden Pea-fruited Retinospora). In general ap- 
pearance very like the species, but made especially valuable by its bright 
golden tint, the foliage holding this color even in winter. For contrast 
effect in group plantings it is very handsome. 2 to 3 ft., $2.25; 3 to 4 ft., 
53 ' 5 °- 
R. plumosa (Green Plume-like Retinospora). One of the best known 
Retinosporas and extensively used. Of distinct, symmetrical, conical 
shape, which can be improved through shearing, rendering it very 
compact and dense. The foliage is plume-like and light green. 2 to 3 ft., 
Si. 75; 3 to 4 ft., S3; 4 to 5 ft., S4.50. 
R. plumosa aurea (Golden Plume-like Retinospora). This is un- 
doubtedly the most popular golden evergreen and is used everywhere, 
especially for contrast effects, in ornamental and landscape plantings. 
In habit and growth resembling the species, but its coloring is of a most 
pleasing gold. This attractive coloring is particularly bright in spring, 
and it retains its golden hue remarkably well through all the seasons. 
Absolutely hardy and winterproof. 2 to 3 ft., Si. 75; 3 to 4 ft., S3; 4 to 
5 ft., S4.50. Excellent for winter window- and porch-boxes, in sizes 
1 to 2 ft., at 50 cts. and 75 cts. each, S4 for 10. 
R. squarrosa (Silver Retinospora). An evergreen of great merit and 
beauty and of compact, dense growth. Very hardy and ornamental in 
many places. It is usually trimmed into a fine, shapely pyramid with 
silvery, bluish green foliage of a feathery character. 2 to 3 ft.. S2.50; 3 to 
4 ft.. S3. 50; 4 to 5 ft., S5. 
SCIADOPITYS 
Sciadopitys verticillata (Umbrella Pine). The most interesting and 
remarkable evergreen brought to us from Japan. It is of very slow 
growth, but finally attains the height of a tree; of regular, pyramidal 
shape. Each branch and side growth is terminated by a whorl of umbrella- 
like tufts of needles of a shining, rich green. Quite hardy after once 
established. 2 to 3 ft., S5; 3 to 4 ft., S7.50.
