BLACK HILL SPRUCE 
(Picea Canadensis Albertiana) 
The Black Hills Spruce is hardiest of all Spruces, sym¬ 
metrical, compact and bushy of growth; in fact the very 
smallest trees soon form round, sturdy, compact bodies. 
As the tree grows and develops, it continues to carry 
the particular style of growth and generally becomes 
the most compact growing specimen of the Spruce 
family; even in old trees the lower branches are re¬ 
tained, thus forming a close ground cover.

COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE 
(Picea Pungens Glauca) 
Other trees there are of almost every imaginable form and 
color, but here is truly the culmination of nature’s high¬ 
est effort to produce the beautiful. Picture in your mind 
a perfectly shaped tree with an abundance of heavy 
foliage of a rich, glistening blue, which flashes and 
sparkles in the sunlight, and you can form only a faint 
idea of the magnificent beauty of this truly marvelous 
tree. 
The glory of the Blue Spruce is its foliage, which is an 
intense steel-blue. It has created a sensation through¬ 
out the United States and Europe, and is indeed a 
triumph in evergreen-growing. Each Per 10

JAPANESE YEW DWARF 
(Taxus Cuspidata Nana) 
Similar to Taxus Cuspidata, but is very dwarfish and com¬ 
pact-growing. The foliage consists of little bunches 
of black-green foliage. Of irregular and picturesque 
outline, ultimately becoming two to three feet high 
and five or more feet wide. Absolutely hardy. It 
retains its rich, dark green color entirely throughout 
the winter. Will remain dwarf and grow more at¬ 
tractive with age. Very long-lived.

AMERICAN ARBORVITAE 
(Thuja Occidentalis) 
The Arborvitae is very hardy and dependable in almost 
any situation. A moist location is preferred. Stands 
trimming well, and for this reason is widely used for 
hedges. The rate of growth and ultimate height de¬ 
pend largely upon conditions. It usually grows bushy 
at the bottom and tapering towards the top. Foli¬ 
age is very soft and flexible and of fine, deep green 
color. Each Per 10
