PICEA (The Spruces) 
The Spruces, as a family, comprise one 
of the most adaptable and useful groups of 
hardy evergreens. Except for a limited 
number of dwarf forms, they naturally 
grow into large trees; and this fact should 
be carefully weighed before including them 
in foundation plantings. On the other 
hand, when planted in a hedge and closely 
sheared, the White and Norway Spruces 
become dense walls of green. As individual 
specimens, all the Spruces attain a dignity 
that is impressive. 
Canadensis (White Spruce). A native of 
our North woods and a handsome sym- 
metrical tree of compact, dense growth

ern States where they are highly valued for 
lumber. Related somewhat to the Spruces

of growth much more rapid. They make 
excellent specimens and may also be used 
for screening purposes.
