Colorado Blue 
Spruce is a very popu¬ 
lar ornamental tree, 
and its striking sym¬ 
metry and peculiar 
pleasing color make a 
very strong appeal 
where especial effects 
are desired. It is the 
bluest of the white or 
blue spruces. It is 
highly valued as an 
ornamental specimen 
and gives a rare tint 
in color combinations. 
It furnishes a strong 
contrast with the 
darker evergreens. It 
is one of the hardiest 
of all the spruces. 
The species reaches 
perfect development in 
the Rocky Mountains 
of Colorado, where 
our seeds are collected 
from blue trees. Our 
trees are sold “nur¬ 
sery run”; none of the 
bluest ones have been 
selected out. We have 
probably the largest 
supply of these stocky 
plants in the country, 
and so make extremely 
FIVE-YEAR OLD TRANSPLANTED COLO- low prices for such

Bank’s Pine, known also as the “sudden sawlog,” is especially 
recommended for immediate effects. It is the hardiest native 
evergreen tree in America. It thrives on the poorest, driest soils 
and in the most exposed places. It is an admirable nurse tree for 
slower-growing evergreens.
