Our Glorious 
COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE 
Lovely 
in form 
and color 
— it adds 
distinction 
to the 
home 
landscape 
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 — deep green, sometimes 
touched with silver, with now and then a decided blue tinge. Mag¬ 
nificent in character, full of vigor and hardiness like the Rocky 
Mountains from whence it originated, and it is a grand evergreen 
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 de¬ 
velop into very fine blue specimens if given time, good care and 
patience. 4-0-60 feet at maturity.

NOTE.—We have specialized in Blue Spruce for years, and this 
season have a little the finest specimen Colorado Blue Spruce Shin¬ 
ers and Koster's Blue Spruce that we have ever offered. They are 
the only trees in the nursery that we ball and burlap without extra 
charge. 
Blue as 
the skies — 
a 
royal 
beauty 
The 
best 
loved 
of all 
evergreens 
The tree that everyone longs for—with its wonderful covering of silvery 
blue, and its superb form—graceful branches cascading in even layers 
from a broad base to a tapering crown. These are the “EXTRA BLUE” 
trees that we marked in the nursery during the summer when they dis¬ 
played a fine silver luster. Every year they become more beautiful, more 
colorful. 
It is the landscape favorite, ideally used as a single specimen on the 
lawn or in groups. An evergreen that combines complete hardiness with 
charm and beauty; adaptable to nearly all climates. 40 to 60 feet at 
maturity. Our SHINERS are all Extra Select Specimens.
