Colorado Blue Spruce 
See Illustrations on Page 4 
COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE, the gem of 
all spruces, with silvery-blue, compact foli¬ 
age, has an elegance that will grace your 
home-grounds. The blue color is brightest 
in late Spring when the new growth develops. 
The color gradually changes during the sea¬ 
son until only a bluish tint remains. We 
mention this fact so customers will not be 
disappointed when receiving their trees, as 
during the winter and early spring the color 
is at its poorest. Having a large stock of 
this tree and wishing everyone to own one, 
we have made special low prices this season. 
Prices are based, 1st on color and size; 2nd 
on form. 8 to 12 inch, $1.00 and $1.25; 12 to 15
