DUNDEE NURSERY 
ABIES CONCOLOR—Blue Fir. 
Sometimes called White Fir. A most beautiful Evergreen, native of the 
Rockies, of Colorado, and in many respects resembles Pungens. Many of 
these trees are of a rich, silvery blue. Its needles are long and soft, unlike 
the Blue Spruce in this respect. In its native soil it reaches a height of 100 
to 150 feet. Perfectly hardy and readily adapts itself to various soils and 
climates. 
DOUGLAS SPRUCE—Pseudotsuga Douglassi, of Colorado. 
This is emphatically the tree for the millions. While on a visit to the 
eastern nurseries, I noted in almost every instance that it was the most rapid 
grower of all the Conifers. Sometimes the complaint is made that it grows 
too fast and is not compact enough for a lawn tree, yet on my grounds it 
seems to have the perfection of form. The foliage is soft and somewhat re¬ 
sembles the Hemlock, hence the name (resembling the Hemlock). In the 
mountains it is a grand tree. It reaches from the Rockies to the Pacific 
slope. 
NORWAY SPRUCE. 
A very popular variety from Europe. It has been more extensively plant¬ 
ed in this country than any other Evergreen. In fact, it is so well known as 
being one of the very best Evergreens for ornamental purposes, that it is 
only necessary to say that it is also the most valuable for wind breaks, screens 
and hedges. 
HEMLOCK SPRUCE—Abies Canadensis, Sometimes called Weeping Spruce. 
This is a well known Evergreen of high northern latitudes. It is one of 
the most graceful spruces with light and spreading sprays; frequently branch¬ 
ing almost to the ground. It is a beauty for the lawn and makes a highly or¬ 
namental hedge. 
BALSAM FIR—Abies Balsamea. 
A well-known popular tree, very handsome while young, assuming the 
upright, conical form; leaves dark green above, silvery underneath; retains 
its color throughout the severest winter weather; grows quite rapidly when 
established; desirable in every way. 
WHITE PINE— Pinus Strobus. 
Is the most ornamental of all our native Pines; foliage light, delicate 
silvery green. Flourishes in almost any soil. Transplants easily, excellent for 
wind breaks, and most valuable of all for forest planting. Over half million 
now sold, Jan. 1st, for spring delivery. 
SCOTCH PINE—Pinus Sylvestris. 
A rapid-growing, hardy variety, with stout, erect shoots and silvery green 
foliage. Valuable for shelter and makes a good lawn tree, and being one 
of the hardiest of the Evergreen family, it readily adapts itself to the trying 
climate of Minnesota, the Dakotas and Montana. It also thrives well on the 
dry plains of Kansas, and is perfectly at home in ftlinois, Iowa, Nebraska and 
other states. Also valuable for forest culture. 
AUSTRIAN PINE or BLACK PINE—P. Austriaca, Nigricans. 
A remarkably robust, hardy spreading tree, leaves long, stiff and dark 
green; rapid grower; valuable for this country.
