PIGEA’: The Spruces 
The towering spires of the Spruces are familiar sights in our eastern American land- 
scape. Many a billowing cloud of canvas has been borne aloft on masts that were once 
lofty Spruces in the Maine woods. Carloads of Spruce tops roll into our cities at Christmas- 
time to fulfil a joyful destiny. The character of these trees is just what the common name 
implies—spruce and neat and definite.

The Pines would probably be voted the most useful, the most comforting, the best 
loved of all the Evergreen Trees. They fling the breath of health upon the air, they make 
music of the wind, and stand guard over our homesteads from generation to generation. 
The Pines maintain throughout their long lives their character of strength and beauty 
and freedom.
