American White Spruce 
ONE OF THE LEADING NATIVE EVERGREENS. Destined to become “THE 
LEADER.’* Grows perfectly in all northern, eastern and middle-western 
states. Crows thick and compact. Retains its branches well to the 
ground. Foliage is light green with slightly blue tinge. 
WISCONSIN—Especially adapted to Wisconsin soil and climate and grows to 
perfection. Fine for windbreaks.—Agric. Exp. Station, Madison, Wis. 
KANSAS—A fine Evergreen and grows well in Kansas, except in extreme western 
parts.—Kansas State Agric. College, Manhattan, Kans. 
MINNESOTA—It is well known that the White Spruce does well anywhere in 
this state, and when planted in rich soil and given good cultivation while small 
grows fast and bushy. Splendid for wind¬ 
breaks.—Dept, of Agric., Univ. of Minn., 
University Farm, St. Paul, Minn. 
VERMONT—We have recommended 
the use of Norway Spruce, and this variety 
has done well, but on the whole I believe 
our native White Spruce is more satisfac¬ 
tory for Vermont.—A. F. Hawes, State For¬ 
ester, Burlington, Vt. 
NORTH DAKOTA—The White 
Spruce does very well here, though it has 
not been extensively planted.—C. B. Wal¬ 
dron, Agric. College, N. D. 
IOWA—Its compact growth, glaucous 
and pleasing outline, combined with 
its hardiness and durability, make it a val¬ 
uable tree for the Iowa planter.—Experi¬ 
ment Station, Ames, Iowa. 
SOUTH DAKOTA—Very hardy and 
desirable. Withstands the cold climate and 
develops good specimens and a useful wind¬ 
break tree.—Agric. Exp. Station, Brookings, 
S. D. 
“The White Spruce,” says D. Hill, « 
“from the standpoint of hardiness and prac- ^ 
tical utility is unexcelled—especially in the most northern states, where other varieties 
might not do so well. I predict a great future for this variety. I believe that event¬ 
ually it will be more widely planted than any other member of the Spruce family.”
