EARL E. MAY'S 1934 CATALOG OF SEEDS AND NURSERY STOCK 
Evergreens—Cont. 
Fir 
DOUGLAS FIB. (Abies.) The foliage of Douglas 
Fir is an attractive, soft green color. It is a 
strong, upright grower, long lived, good for 
windbreak or specimen planting. Will grow 
anywhere in America. Reaches 60 feet in 
height and its branches will spread 12 to 18 
feet. Branches slope slightly downward. 
Pines 
AUSTRIAN PINE. Also known as Black Pine. 
Foliage is an even, dark, deep green with long 
needles two to a sheath. Makes a fine wind¬ 
break. Does well in a gas or smoky atmos¬ 
phere. We recommend them to you as ex¬ 
tremely vigorous growers. 
★ MUdHO DWARF PINE. Dense, low growing- 
tree. Plants are thickly covered with heavy, 
dark green needles. Mugho Pine never grows 
over 3 to 4 feet in height and can be kept 
trimmed back so it creeps right along on the 
ground. Grows naturally in a dwarf ball shape. 
SCOTCH PINE. One of the hardiest of all Pines. 
Well adapted to the Farm Belt, makes an excel¬ 
lent windbreak. We sell thousands of trees 
every year for this purpose. Needles are short, 
light green in color, the tree is extremely hardy, 
of rapid growth and grows in practically any 
soil. Reaches a height of from 40 to 50 feet. 
Scotch Pine (Group A) 
Norway Spruce 
Spruce 
★ BLACK HILL SPRUCE. The hardiest of 
all spruce. Reaches 25 to 40 feet in 
height and the branches spread from 10 
to 12 feet in each direction. A beautiful 
landscape tree, foliage varies from green 
to a bluish tint, and all trees are remark¬ 
able for their bright, live color. Makes 
an ideal living Christmas Tree. 
COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE. Everyone ad¬ 
mires the beautiful color of this tree. Its 
blue color is brightest in late spring when 
the new growth develops. Colorado Blue 
Spruce should be planted as a specimen 
tree in the yard. Dikes plenty of sunshine. 
MOERHEIM BLUE SPRUCE. Superior to 
all other Blue Spruce. This is without 
doubt the bluest of all Evergreens. They 
retain their rich, bluish color throughout 
the entire season and are known as “shin¬ 
ers.” These specimens are very compact 
growers and we cannot recommend them 
too highly. 
NORWAY SPRUCE. A very hardy wind¬ 
break tree. It branches close to the 
ground, is a rapid grower, grows from 1 
to 2 feet each season. The color is a deep 
green, makes an excellent windbreak and 
the ultimate height is 60 to 80 feet. 
WHITE SPRUCE. I consider this tree su¬ 
perior to the Norway Spruce because it 
is more of a compact grower and the color 
is a trifle darker green. You will be well 
pleased with it, I am sure. 
"WELL PLEASED” 
“Just a few lines to let you know how 
well pleased we are with your nursery 
stock. It cannot be duplicated at twice 
the price. Our roses were just a solid 
cluster of roses and buds on them when 
it froze this fall, and lots of small 
buds.” Mrs. Joseph D. Erny, Grand Is¬ 
land, Nebr.
