King of Spruces 
“The Colorado Blue Spruce, 
with its peculiar and lustrous 
bloom, is like a rare fiower in it¬ 
self. Clothed in royal robes of 
silver and sapphire, in shape a 
g-listening- pyramid of mingled 
beauty and stateliness, it is the 
joy of the beholder, the delig-ht 
of the owner.”—D. HILL. 
“I have known $100.00 to be re¬ 
fused for a sing-le tree. It is a 
child of the storm king-, g-rowing- 
at an altitude of 8,000 to 10,000 
feet above sea level. A very 
Kohinoor among the gems of the 
Rockies.”—C. S. HARRISON, York, 
Nebraska. 
“Enclosed find photograph of 
one of the Colorado Blue Spruces. 
I have two of these trees which 
I purchased from you nine (9) 
years ago for $5.00 each. A year 
ago I refused $100.00 each for 
them. Does it pay to grow Ever¬ 
greens? Well, I am only sorry 
I did not plant my whole 5 acres 
to them.”—J. H. ELLIS, Edgewa- 
ter, Colorado.
