Spruce - Picea 
Spruces are unsurpassed for their ornamental qualities, 
they are conical or pyramidal evergreens of great hardiness 
and usefulness. Splendid for park planting or as lawn speci¬ 
mens, and when placed among other evergreen plantings, form 
a most pleasing contrast. The loftiness and stately spirelike 
crowns of the Spruces lend a peculiar charm to the landscape. 
The dwarf forms are valuable subjects for bordering the taller 
evergreens, also suitable for rock gardens.
