Dwarf Alberta Spruce 
O NE of the most interesting oddities 
among Evergreens. It is of ex¬ 
tremely narrow, pyramidal growth, 
thickly covered with short, close set twiggy 
branches and clothed in grass green leaves. 
It is unlike any other Evergreen, both in 
shape and general ai3pearance so that it 
always attracts attention. 
Its annual growth is only one-half inch 
to one inch so that many years are required 
to raise the trees in the nursery. As it 
must be grown by small cuttings or grafts, 
at least ten to twelve years’ growth is 
represented in the sizes shown here. 
Some of the oldest trees in the countrj’’ 
are said to be about five feet high, still 
retaining their characteristic habits. 
If exposed to the south, this little tree 
may be burned by the winter sun and 
winds. It is advisable, therefore, to shade 
it toward the south during Avinter. It pre¬ 
fers a partially shaded, rather moist loca¬ 
tion, and winter protection is then unnec¬ 
essary.
