Our famous Norway Spruce have every attribute of the 
perfect windbreak tree—tall, compact growers, with thick, in¬ 
terlacing. branches clear to the ground, giving complete shelter 
—the most rapid grower of all the Spruces, often making a 
growth of 12 to 24 inches in a year when once established— 
hardy everywhere, and so easily established. Then, too, it is 
a fine looking tree, an imposing pyramid in form, thickly 
covered with dark, rich green needles that are short and stiff. 
80 to 100 feet at maturity. 
In groups on the lawn, in a background planting, or even 
as a single specimen near the home where it can serve as a 
living Christmas tree, the Norway Spruce is always delightful 
—so shapely, so dependable. It makes a fine ornamental hedge, 
being easily sheared back to any height desired. Always it has 
been the most popular evergreen for Christmas trees. 
Come to the nursery and see them—millions of them all 
the way from tiny seedlings up to big, heavy, bushy trees that 
are superb for immediate effects in the windbreak row or in 
the landscape planting. jqq 1000
