E1sColorade Blue Spruce Shiners 
(Picea Pungens Glauca) 
The tree that everyone longs for—with its wonderful covering of silvery blue, and 
its superb form—graceful branches cascading in even layers from a tapering crown to 
a broad base. These are the "EXTRA BLUE" trees that we marked in the nursery during 
the summer when they displayed a fine silver luster. Every year they become more 
beautiful, more colorful.

groups. An evergreen that combines complete hardiness with charm and beauty, adapt- 
able to nearly all climates. 40 to 60 ft. at maturity. Our SHINERS are Extra Select

the magnificent bearing and hardiness of the Rocky Mountains from whence it origi-

E18— White Spruce (Picea canadensis alba) 
FAMED FOR ITS SHAPELY BEAUTY—SPLENDID FOR LANDSCAPING AND SCREENS 
An evergreen of fine form, useful in so many phases of landscaping—Living Christ- 
mas Trees on the lawn, backgrounds, clumps, as well as hedges. The broad, compact 
pyramid it forms is densely covered with short, stiff needles of light shimmering green, 
sometimes almost blue. We grow the northern type of White Spruce that is much hardier 
and finer in every way than the southern. It makes rapid growth, maturing at 60 to 75 
feet. 
For windbreak planting, Ferris’ White Spruce are great favorites—so hardy, fine look- 
ing and well branched to the ground. Our specimens are exceptionally nice.
