SPRUCES— (Continued) 
Roster’s Blue Spruce (Picea Pungens Glauca 
Kosteriana) —The most popular blue evergreen 
among the spruces and so generally used for 
lawns and specimens. This variety is identical 
in growth with the Colorado Blue, but has the 
bluest strain of foliage, being grafted from the 
famous Roster’s variety. They are healthy 
and make beautiful trees, being attractive at all 
seasons. They do not make large trees but 
owing to their intense bluish color, if a few of 
them are scattered about the lawn they will 
lend attraction to the surroundings.

We are delighted with our shrubbery. The 
town seems to be delighted with it. 
I am enclosing a cut of the church since we 
planted the shrubbery so that you can see 
how it looks. 
Fraternally,
