Black Hills Spruce 
(Picea canadensis albertiana) 
Always a little beauty, with its heavy, thick 
foliage and its perfect symmetry. A native of the 
Black Hills country of South Dakota, it resenv 
bles its parent, the White Spruce, though some' 
what slower in growth and more compact. Color 
is a rich, glaucous green, sometimes intense blue. 
Extremely hardy, easy to establish, maturing at 3 5 to 40 feet. One 
of the finest evergreens you can use for single specimen planting 
on the lawn; it is. a wonderful windbreak evergreen for the West 
and Missouri Valley district. We are offering extra choice specimens 
this season.

And 
Windbreaks. 
We grow the northern type of White Spruce ^. ^ 
that is so much hardier and finer in every way 
than the southern type. It forms a broad, com' 
pact pyramid, densely covered with short, stiff needles of a light shimmering 
green, sometimes almost blue. It grows rapidly, maturing at 50 to 70 feet, 
and is always of graceful carriage. A native of the North, it is hardy even 
in the coldest places. 
Ferris’ White Spruce are extremely useful; beautiful in every phase 
of landscaping—backgrounds, combination groups, single specimens, 
hedges—and will never disappoint you. For windbreak planting it is 
a great favorite—so hardy, fine looking, and a compact grower, well 
branched to the ground. We have never had as beautiful a stock of 
White Spruce as we are offering this year.
