COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE 
The King of Ornamentals 
Colorado Blue Spruce has long been re- 
garded as one of the finest of ornamental 
trees. It is sturdy, symmetrical and compact 
in form, ranging in color from slightly blue- 
green to marvelous blue. It thrives in moist 
tich soil and prefers sunlight. Growth is slow. 
The blueness of these trees may be intensi- 
fied by carefully working a thin layer of 
well rotted cow manure into the surface of 
the soil around the tree, and watering fre- 
quently. Care should be exercised in the use 
of this fertilizer; burning may result from 
over-feeding. 
While this species is primarily used in 
ornamental plantings, it offers the highest 
quality in a Christmas tree. Thus it is often 
advisable to include a quantity of Blue 
Spruce in a plantation for special premiu:n 
trees. Shearing is recommended, following 
a season of unusually rapid growth.

Cedar, is one of the most popular choices for home 
planting. Foliage is dark green. Since trees may be 
pruned back to any height, this plant is adaptable to 
many uses. Excellent for hedges, windbreaks, mixed 
plantings, specimens. Prefers full sun.

From an Ohio Customer 
‘“‘About five years ago I sent for one of your eyer- 
green seedling offers. The trees that I received all sur- 
vived transplanting. Of course, they aren’t forest 
giants. One wouldn’t expect them to be in that short 
time. Nonetheless, they have all turned out to be 
quite lovely little specimen plants —the Blue Spruce, 
especially. These latter have a good blue cast — some- 
thing that probably stamps me as being lucky for you 
just can’t predict with any great degree of accuracy in 
plants that small, which will be really blue and which 
will be the ever lovely green... .”’
