COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE 
A Handsome 
Lawn Tree — 
Rich in Color, 
of Perfect 
Symmetry and 
of Supreme 
Hardiness. 
(Picea pungens) 
A tree developing unusual form—a broad even pyramid thickly studded 
with graceful branches clear to the ground, covered with heavy, lustrous 
foliage of varying tones—sometimes deep green, again it is touched with 
silver, while others have a decided blue tinge. It is a magnificent evergreen, 
full of vigor and hardiness like the Rocky Mountains from whence it origi- 
nated, and is a grand tree for the home grounds, either used singly or in 
groups. 
The following Colorado Spruce are not guaranteed as to color, but many 
of them, especially those in the smaller sizes, will develop into very fine 
blue specimens if given time, good care and patience. 40-60 ft. at maturity.
