Colorado Spruces 
Blue and Green Varieties 
THE 
COLORADO 
SPRUCES 
All Little-Tree Colorado and Blue Colorado Spruces are grown from seed 
of hardy trees of the high cold regions of the Rocky Mountains, 
K -„ their native home. Pyramidal in form, the full-foliaged branches 
extend to the ground or near it and are covered with lustrous 
needles ranging in color from very clear green, with no trace of 
blue, through various shades of bluish green to a true silverv 
blue. The color is attractive in all of its variations. Mag¬ 
nificent in health, vigor, and in endurance, this is one 
of the most striking evergreens as well as one of the hard¬ 
iest and best loved. For ornamental plantings of all kinds 
these spruces are used freely and are very handsome whether 
planted singly or grouped. 
Colorado Spruce 
(Picea pungens) 
Colorado Spruce has always been a specialty of Little-Tree Farms. 
The color of these is green or slightly bluish green and the form is a 
regular pyramid. We can unqualifiedly recommend the Colorado Spruces 
for all ornamental plantings. Especially good for tubs and pots. They 
are very handsome planted singly as specimen trees about the house 
and lawn or along the drive, or grouped together in larger plantings 
on spacious lawns and through the woodlands of large estates. They 
grow well in all soils

Blue Spruce 
(Picea pungens glauca) 
This spruce is the bluest variant of the Colorado 
Spruce — the tree you mean when you ask for a 
"Blue” Spruce. The fine specimens here offered have 
a beautiful silvery blue color. 
The Blue Colorado Spruces are without peer for use 
in ornamental pots, at doorways, in gardens as ac¬ 
cents, and as lawn specimens. 
The “Blues" are at their best when planted with 
a group of other conifers possessing variations of the 
same silvery-bluish green. Too much cannot be 
said of the hardiness and vigor of growth of this noble 
evergreen. 
Plant your “Blue’' Spruce in dark rich garden loam 
rocure and maintain 
be a constant jov in 
the deepest 
your garden.
