dark green color, very dense, and shears well. The Hemlock will remain small for 
many years, if sheared, so that it can be recommended for foundations, groups and 
small yards. Hemlock likes a rather moist, cool shaded place.

5 feet in diameter, by annual shearing can be kept any desired size. An excellent ever¬ 
green, where one of dwarf habit is wanted.

3 ft., balled, $3.50 
This is one of the Blue Spruces. It is 
hardy, healthy, and a beautiful tree. The 
rich blue color enhances the value of the 
Colorado Blue Spruce for single trees or 
for group plantings. 
ROSTER’S BLUE

This is the genuine Blue Spruce. These 
trees are grafted, so as to hold their true 
blue color. These trees are very scarce, 
and our supply is very limited.
