THE NORWAY SPRUCE 
HILL’S BEST EVERGREEN FdR WINDBREAKS 
A sure, fast grower—bushy—transplants easily—absolutely hardy 
Unqualifiedly “THE LEADER” for windbreaks 
The popularity of the Norway Spruce throughout the United States is 
due to its extreme hardiness, rapidity of growth, sureness of growing after 
transplanting, and great usefulness as a windbreak, shelterbelt or screen. 
D. HILL SAYS: “If I were asked what variety of Evergreen is best for 
general windbreak planting I would say unhesitatingly THE NORWAY 
SPRUCE. It has stood the test of time. I have tested it out and watched 
it grow year after year in all parts of the country. Norway Spruce wind¬ 
breaks that I sold over fifty years ago are still giving service, growing 
steadily and satisfactorily and saving and 
making big money for their owners each 
year. I cannot add stronger testimony as 
to its worth than to say that I use Nor¬ 
way Spruce exclusively for windbreak on 
my own farms.” 
It admirably adapts itself to all con¬ 
ditions and combines practical usefulness 
with ornamentation wherever used. Its 
dense growth forms an almost impenetra¬ 
ble barrier to the sharp, cold winds and 
frosts that are so damaging to stock and 
crops. Many fruit orchards are protected 
from the icy blasts from the north by 
rows of Norway Spruces along the boun¬ 
dary lines. 
So valuable have they become, both 
in winter and summer, as conservers of 
vitality and strength to cattle and crops 
alike, that many farmers estimate an in¬ 
creased value of at least 25 per cent hav¬ 
ing been added by the planting of this 
Spruce for windbreaks and shelters. 
For planting along line fences, between 
fields, walks, borders, drives and around 
orchards, vegetable gardens, about barns, 
stock shelters, pig pens, poultry runs, 
apiaries, the rapid growth and masses of 
dense foliage of this Evergreen forms a 
quick and permanent shelter during win¬ 
ter and summer that is unequaled.
