_ ES—COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE SHINER (Picea Pungens Glauca). The tree that everyone longs for—with its 
4 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 
2 the summer when they displayed a fine silver luster. Every year they become more beautiful, more colorful. 
= It is the landscape favorite, ideally used as a single specimen on the lawn or in groups. An evergreen that 
_ combines complete hardiness with charm and beauty, adaptable to nearly all climates. 40 to 60 feet at ma- 
turity. Our SHINERS are Extra Select Specimens, and note the NEW LOW PRICES. (See picture of a Ferris

A ground screens they have no equal. 
. Originating in Colorado, they have acquired all the grandeur and hardiness of the Rocky 
q Mountains. Long, graceful needles are extremely thick on the branches, varying in color from 
; light green to gray-blue, giving the tree a beautiful, soft, full appearance, and the name 
“Silver Fir’. They never lose their lower branches, growing more compact, shapely and ma- 
jestical each season, often reaching a height of 50 to 60 feet. Rapid in growth, perfectly hardy, 
and entirely free of any insect troubles. 
If you are looking fora truly grand evergreen for your lawn, by all means plant one or more
