Specimen Evergreens 
The Linn County Nurseries 

SPRUCE—Black Hills. 50-70 ft. A native of the Black 
Hills. It does very well over a wide range. »This is 
a very variable species, ranging from very compact 
dwarfs to more open, rapid-growing trees, and from 
clear green to silvery “blue-green, Our trees ‘are 
mostly a very compact and slow growing type. In dry 
seasons it should be closely watched and treated for 
Red Spider. 
—Selected Blue Colorado Spruce. Picea pungens. 
25-40 ft. More used as a specimen tree than any other 
evergreen. Rather slow-growing, regular and com- 
pact with very sharply pointed blue foliage. Subject 
to Red Spider injury if neglected. 
—Green Colorado Spruce Specimens. The same fine, 
compact form as above. Sometimes, but not always, 
they develop a blue color with age. 
—Servian. Picea omorika. An attractive slow growing 
dense pyramidal tree reaching considerable height. 
Leaves bright green with white stripes above. 
—Wilson. A handsome spruce of dense habit. 
YEWS (TAXUS) are particularly valuable for planting 
in shady places and in cities where the smoky atmos- 
phere is injurious to most evergreens. Their bright red 
fruits among the dark green leaves make them the most 
interesting of all evergreens in late summer. They 
stand much trimming, are long lived, and free from 
pests. Plant in the richest soil, well mixed with peat 
and humus. Need some shearing. 
—Japanese, Spreading cuspidata. 4-6 ft. A spreading 
irregular, bush form. Can be kept low by a little 
shearing. 
—Japanese, Upright capitata. 8-12 ft. Broadly pyramidal. 
May be sheared into any form. 
—Media Hicksi, Hick’s Yew. 8-10 ft. -A very narrow, 
columnar, compact form with very dark green fol- 
iage The best columnar tree for a shady place. En- 
dures considerable heat. 
—Media Hatfield. Upright growing, tall columnar type. 
—Media Hatfield. Low growing. This type forms a com- 
pact plant almost as wide as its height.
