summer which turns to almost red during the winter. Very hardy. 
Virginiana Glauca (Silver Red Cedar). Height 6 to 8 feet. A 
grafted variety of somewhat grotesque, irregular growth. Very silvery 
foliage. 
PINE — Pinus 
Austrian (Nigra). Height 40 to 50 feet. Vigorous growing tree. 
Thrives well in ordinary soil. Foliage long, dark green. Well shaped. 
One of the most valuable of all the large Pines. 
Banksiana (Jack Pine). Height 40 to 50 feet. Almost too well 
known to need any description. For shady locations and for reforesta- 
tion, this tree certainly deserves consideration. Very hardy, and when 
grown and given some care, it has a very attractive and compact foliage. 
Mugho (Dwarf Mugho). Height 4 to 6 feet. Branches upright in 
bush form. Very popular for foundation planting. Hardy and attractive. 
Ponderosa (Western Yellow, Bull Pine). Height 50 to 100 feet. 
Unusual, long dark grayish-green needles. Resembles Austrian Pine 
but more rapid of growth. Hardy. Very compact in appearance. 
Scotch (Sylvestris). Height 30 to 40 feet. Quick, strong growth. 
Hardy. Bluish-green foliage. Excellent for screen, windbreak and mass 
planting. 
White. Height 60 to 80 feet. This is one of the most beautiful of 
all Pines. It is a five-needle Pine, graceful habit and upright, compact 
form. As an ornamental Pine, it- stands alone. 
SPRUCE — Picea 
Black Hills Spruce (Canadensis Albertiana). Height 40 to 50 feet. 
A hardy Spruce that comes to us from the Black Hills of South Dakota. 
Symmetrical, very compact, almost bushy. Foliage varies from green 
to bluish tint. Very popular for ornamental and windbreak purposes. 
Canadensis (White Spruce). Height 60 to 80 feet. It depends greatly 
where this variety comes from. If from Maine, its habit is more open 
than the one we find in northern Minnesota which has a very dense 
habit of growth. We grow our White Spruce only from northern Minne- 
sota seed. 
Colorado Blue Spruce (Pungens Glauca). Height 30 to 50 feet. 
The hardiest of all Spruces. Out of a block of Colorado Blue Spruce 
seedlings, some 5% to 10% are usually selected for their color and shape, 
It is this selection which is offered under this heading. The others are 
sold as Colorado Green Spruce. Those who have seen the Colorado 
Blue Spruce in its native habitat in Colorado can never forget their 
majestic appearance, nor can those who witnessed the destruction of 
the drought in 1934 in western Minnesota ever forget the glorious way 
in which this tree came through. 
Colorado Green Spruce (Pungens). Height 40 to 50 feet. This is 
the same variety as Colorado Blue Spruce, but of light green foliage.
