SPRUCES 
N ORWAY 
Norway Spruce ‘is perhaps the most popu- 
lar of the spruce family for the Christmas 
tree grower. It’s much more rapid growth 
than other spruces and beautiful color places 
it among the leaders in popular demand. A 
desire for rich moist soil and little need of 
shearing are its chief characteristics. 
COLORADO BLUE 
OR 
WHITE SPRUCE 
The leading ornamental trees of the 
spruces, excellent Xmas tree but very slow 
grower. Likes deep moist soil with little 
shearing needed. . 
FIR 
Both Douglas and Balsaam fir are ideal 
Xmas trees, good color with medium length 
needles that will stay after éarly cutting. A 
tree that requires definite locations for suc- 
cessful growth. A grower contemplating fir? 
should consult his county agent before select- 
ing a site.
