EVERGREENS AND HEDGES 
Roster’s Blue Spruce. 
This is by far the most beautiful 
variety of spruce and is much 
more beautiful in color than the 
variety commonly known as Colo¬ 
rado Blue Spruce. The foliage is 
of intense silvery blue, and this 
beautiful color combined with its 
fine compact habit of growth makes 
a very desirable evergreen for home 
planting. This is a very rare 
variety of evergreen and in great 
demand. This is a grafted variety, 
imported from Europe. It is very 
hardy. 
Prices, strong, well developed 
trees, 18 to 24 inches, balled, 
$2.50 each. 
Norway Spruce. This is 
--- - - the most 
desirable evergreen tree for all pur¬ 
poses and most popular. It is 
suitable for planting as an oma- A Windbreak of Norway 
mental tree in groups around a large estate or park, as 
a windbreak to protect an orchard, farmhouse or other 
buildings, or as a hedge fence to divide fields. If any tree 
can be called “universal” the Norway Spruce comes nearest 
to the requirements. It is extremely hardy and will grow 
on all kinds of soil and under all conditions. This tree 
will grow in crevices of rocks and on hillsides where it would 
be impossible for other trees to get necessary nourishment. 
This is the variety of evergreen usually sold for Christmas 
trees, and there is good profit in growing Norway Spruce for 
this purpose, as they can be grown on waste land. When 
planted on the lawn or about the house as a single specimen 
Norway Spruce is an elegant tree of lofty growth in pyramidal 
form. The branches assume a graceful, drooping habit, its 
lower branches sweeping the ground, when the tree attains 15 
to 20 ft. in height. (See illustration on next page.) It is 
a rapid growing tree and when matured reaches a height 
of 50 ft. 
Spruce—an Ideal Protection. Means Larger and Better Crops. 
For a hedge higher than 4 to 5 ft., it is the most desirable 
tree to use, and when planted for this purpose should be 
set from 12 to 15 inches apart. One of the most important 
functions of the Norway Spruce is its use as a windbreak. 
An orchard or fruit garden enclosed with an evergreen 
hedge will in cold seasons yield double the crop of sound 
fruit that it would if left exposed to bleak and cutting blasts 
of winter. For a windbreak the trees should be planted 
6 ft. apart. We advise planting specimens not over 2 to 3 
ft. in height. They are more sure to live.

One of our blocks of Norway Spruce—50,000 Spruce trees in this block. We import these trees when very small from Europe, transplant 
them in our nurseries, and keep them well cultivated until they have attained a height of 2 to 3 feet and 18 to 24 inches, when 
they are offered for sale to our customers, as these are the best sizes to transplant to get the best results. A row of these 
trees around your orchard will protect the fruit trees from severe winds and greatly increase your crop. Or, a 
few trees planted as single specimens on your lawn will make your home grounds much more 
attractive. They are often planted in hedgerows in place of wire fences, as 
they are ju9t as cheap and much more attractive.
