FRANKLIN FORESTRY NURSERY—SHELBURNE FALLS, MASSACHUSETTS 
execlsa Norway Spruce 
A native of Europe, a rapid grower, with dark 
green foliage of somewhat open growth. On 
good soil will often grow three feet in one year 
when well established. On older trees the large 
seed cones make it attractive. As a specimen 
tree needs plenty of light and space to develop, 
often growing to a height of seventy-five feet 
or more. For forest planting it makes a good 
timber tree. Can be used in screen planting 
and, if kept clipped, makes a fine hedge. Is too 
rapid an open growth to be used for founda¬ 
tion planting.
