Colorado Blue Spruce 
(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 ever' 
green, full of vigor and hardiness like the Rocky Moun- 
tains from whence it originated, 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. 4060 ft. at maturity.

The “Extra Blue” trees—trees 
of magnificent form as their thick 
branches climb in even layers

It is extremely hardy, adaptable to nearly all cli¬ 
mates. Beautiful as a single specimen on the lawn, 
it is especially striking when planted with other ever¬ 
greens where its rich color is b^bught^out to perfec¬ 
tion. 40 to 60 feet at maturity. Our Shiners are 
extra choice specimens, and were marked in the 
nursery last summer when they showed a remarkably 
fine blue color... They are ideal for landscape work.
