_ PINE — • 
^AUSTRIAN PINE - This evergreen grows to a height of 50 to 75 feet in 'the West; 
it belongs in Group 1. It resists heat and drouth throughout the plains 
states. Also stands smoky city conditions very well. Fine for windbreaks or 
for background planting where space permits. 
♦BULL PINE (Also called Western Yellow Pine) - A native of Northwestern 
Nebraska, the Black Hills, Colorado, and Wyoming. Very hardy. Resembles the 
Austrian, but not quite so symmetrical and with slightly lighter green foliage 
and longer needles. Is said to be the most drouth-resistant of any evergreen. 
SCOTCH PINE - Grows somewhat more irregular than Austrian with branches shooting 
out rather obliquely, - dark brownish red. Picturesque. Adapted to eastern 
Nebraska, southeastern South Dakota and East and South. 
♦MUGHO PINE - This is a dwarf pine seldom getting over ten feet high and about 
the same width when untrained. By shearing, you can keep it down to four or 
five feet in height and width with the height usually somewhat less than the 
width. The color is always a good deep green. Very hardy in the West and 
Northwest. It fits in Group 5. 
— SPRUCE - 
♦ALBERTA SPRUCE (Black Hill Spruce) - A native of the Black Hills of South 
Dakota. Adapted to Nebraska, Iowa and the Northwest. A close-growing compact 
type of pyramidal evergreen in Group 1. Foliage rich green though slightly 
bluish at close range. Has been very popular through the West, but suffered 
some from extreme heat in southern Nebraska and south in '34 and '36. 
♦COLORADO SPRUCE - This tree is a native of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and 
southern Wyoming and is well-adapted to the plains states into North Dakota. 
Also does well throughout the East. The color of foliage varies from a very 
attractive blue-silver to a good live green. The bright silver ones are 
selected out and called Colorado Blue Spruce Shiners. These probably have the 
most striking color of any evergreen. Those with less blue color, varying 
shades, are listed as Colorado Spruce. When a silver blue is desired, it must 
be specified "shiner". This tree is in Group 1. 
_ FIR — 
♦CONCOLOR FIR (White Fir) - A native of the Colorado Rockies and very well- 
adapted to the Plains and Central States except in the extreme North. The 
color of the foliage is from bright silver to a beautiful live, green varying 
with different trees. In small trees less than four feet in height, it is apt 
to be somewhat irregular, but as it gains size it assumes unexcelled symmetry 
and beauty as a specimen tree. There should be one or more of this variety in 
every planting of any consequence. 
♦DOUGLAS FIR - A native from Colorado to British Columbia. The fastest and 
largest growing pyramid evergreen. Foliage is a good deep green and disease- 
resistant. Fine tree for windbreaks and background planting. Hardy through¬ 
out the West except in the extreme North. 
Our Evergreens are grown under the scientific care 
and expert supervision of skilled propagators. All var¬ 
ieties are top-pruned, root-pruned and transplanted the 
required number of times to develop extra heavy fibrous 
feeding roots and dense thick tops. Each specimen 
is carefully dug, balled and burlapped.
