Black Hills Spru ce 
T he Black Hills Spruce is hardiest of 
all Spruces—symmetrical, compact 
and bushy in habit o£ growth; in fact, 
the very smallest trees soon form round, 
sturdy, coiipDact bodies. As the tree grows 
and develops, it continues to carry this par¬ 
ticular style of growth. 
The foliage varies from green to bluish 
tint, and all trees are remarka})le for their 
bright, fresh color. 
When fullv matured, it reaches 25 to 40 
feet in height and recpiires 10 to 12 feet 
for spread of lu'anches. 
Mr. D. Hill was the leading introducer 
of this variety to the trade, having offered 
it more than fifty years ago.
