large trees though a few are dwarf.

of blue, not as intense nor uniform as Moerheim, but more mod¬ 
erate in price.

Spruce, Moerheim; Picea pungens Moerheimi 
Perhaps the best of the Blue Spruces, it forms a dense, nar¬ 
rowly conical tree of great beauty. These are grafted and the 
needles are uniformly bright, intense blue. It should be remem¬ 
bered that all Blue Spruces are brightest in latter spring when 
the new growth develops. The blue color is a powder-like sub¬ 
stance on the needles, and part is gradually washed off by the 
rains and removed by the snows of winter.
