Deciduous Trees and Shrubs 
The Linn County Nurseries 
SPRUCE—Black Hills, 50 to 70 ft. 
A native of the Black Hills. It does very well over 
a wide range and makes the finest specimens of 
all Spruce. This is a very variable species, rang¬ 
ing from very compact dwarfs to more open, rapid¬ 
growing trees, and from clear green to silvery blue- 
green. Our trees are mostly a very compact and 
slow-growing type. In dry seasons it should be 
closely watched and treated for red spider. 
—Colorado Blue, Picea pungens, 25 to 40 ft. 
—Selected Blue Specimens, Shiners . 
More used as a specimen tree than any other 
evergreen. Rather slow-growing, regular, compact, 
with very sharply pointed blue foliage. Subject 
to red spider injury if neglected. 
—Green Specimens . 
The same fine, compact form as the Shiners, but 
clear green or slightly blue-green foliage. Often 
but not always, they develop a blue color with age. 
YEWS (TAXUS) are particularly valuable for plant¬ 
ing in shady places, and cities where the smoky at¬ 
mosphere is injurious to other evergreens. Their 
bright red fruits among the dark green leaves make 
them the most interesting of all evergreens in late 
summer. They stand much trimming, are long lived, 
and free from pests. Plant in rich soil well mixed 
with peat or humus. 
—cuspidata, Japanese Yew . 
Grown from seed these are quite variable. Usually 
broadly pyramidal. 
—cuspidata capitata, Upright Japanese Yew, 
8 to 12 ft. 
More narrow and upright than the type. Other 
wise similar. 
—cuspidata intermedia, 3 to 5 ft. 
A semi-upright form. Very darkest shiny green 
foliage, especially striking with its orange-red 
berries. Quite dwarf. 
—cuspidata media hicksi, Hick’s Yew, 8 to 10 ft. 
A very narrow, columnar, compact form with very 
darkest green foliage. The best columnar tree for 
a shady place. Endures considerable heat 
—cuspidata Spreading, 4 to 6 ft. 
A spreading, irregular, bushy form. Can be kept 
very low by a little shearing.

DECIDUOUS TREES AND SHRUBS 
Trees and shrubs are included under one heading because many plants 
may be either, according to the training given them. 
The figures in feet given after the names indicate the size attained at 
maturity under average conditions, and will vary considerably according 
to the environment.
