SPRUCE (Picea)—Continued 
Koster Blue (Pungens kosteri). A selected strain of 
the Colorado Blue propagated by grafting. More 
uniform in color than the Colorado, but mote diffi- 
cult to train into specimen plants. 
Norway (Excelsa). Possibly the best known and 
most extensively planted of the Spruces because of 
its many uses. Useful as a specimen tree on the lawn, 
in group plantings, hedges, and screens. Its dark 
green foliage is attractive throughout the year. It 
is a rapid grower, easily transplanted and sheared; 
is adapted to a wide range of soils and climates. 
White (Alba). A very hardy evergreen; compact, up- 
right. Leaves have a silvery tinge, somewhat resem-~

YEW (Taxus) 
Hick’s (Media hicksi). 
with upright branches. 
A distinctly columnar form 
Resembles Irish Yew, but has 
more spread and is a faster grower. Retains its very 
dark green color throughout the Winter. As is true 
with most other Yews, the Hick’s thrives in either 
open sunlight or partial shade—making it most 
valuable for foundation planting and in positions too 
shady for Arborvitaes, Junipers, etc. 
Irish (Baccata hibernica). A very slender, columnar, 
slow-growing, long-lived Yew. Specimens hundreds 
of years old can be found in some of the old English 
gardens. 
Japanese Dwarf (Cuspidata mana). An excellent 
evergreen for borders and edges as a substitute for 
Dwarf Boxwood where Boxwood are subject to Win- 
terkill. Also useful in low foundation plantings and 
beds. 
Japanese Pyramidal (Cuspidata capitata). 
sibly the most extensively used of the Yews. Pyram- 
idal in type; does well in sun or partial shade. The 
“apanese Pyramidal Yews, as well as other varieties, 
are doubly popular because of their dark green foli- 
age, which varies little through Summer and Winter, 
and the beautiful red berries appearing in late Sum- 
mer. See color illustration this page. ‘ 
Japanese Spreading (Cuspidata). A low-growing, 
spreading type, having similar uses to the Pfitzer 
Juniper, but can be used in shady locations where 
Junipers are not successful.
