The Color of the Colorado Blue Spruce. 
The color of the Colorado Blue Spruce is simi¬ 
lar to the bloom or sheen on a grape or plum. It 
is a powdery substance that can be wiped off the 
needles. This accounts for the trees losing color 
after a hard winter of snow and ice. The new 
growth again shows the blue color. The trees we 
offer are grown from especially selected Blue 
Spruces. It must be remembered that only a cer¬ 
tain percentage will grow into “Blue Shiners* 1 , be¬ 
cause of this we cannot guarantee the ultimate 
color. In young trees the blue color is less dis¬ 
tinct, but should get more pronounced as they grow 
older. We mention these facts so that our custom¬ 
ers will not be disappointed upon delivery of the 
trees.
