SPRUCE - Picea 
The Spruce are among our best known evergreens. The 
needles are short, stiff and sharp pointed. They all grow tall 
and upright, forming a densely branched cone. They are used 
for group and mass plantings, screens and windbreaks, and as 
lawn specimens. 
COLORADO BLUE. The handsomest tree on 
the Rocky Mountain trail. Picture in your 
mind a perfectly shaped tree, filled with 
heavy foliage of a rich, glistening blue, flash- 
ing and sparkling in the sunlight. It is used 
mostly for specimen lawn planting, where it 
becomes the prize tree of the property. One 
or two of these trees planted in among other 
dark green foliaged evergreens add distinc- 
tion to the group. 
COLORADO GREEN. Similar to the Colorado 
Blue Spruce but green instead of blue in 
color. 
KOSTER’S BLUE. Lg. A grafted form of the 
best of the blue Spruces. The triumph of 
evergreen development—when man and na- 
ture teamed to produce true beauty. Foliage 
is silvery blue, densely crowded on the many 
branches. McKay’s plantings of this beautiful 
and popular evergreen have been grown with 
great care from stock which we know is the 
genuine Koster’s, guaranteeing its true blue 
color.

EVERGREEN WINDBREAKS 
An Evergreen Windbreak on a farmstead 
is best appreciated by the farmer who already 
w= has one. Such a windbreak not only tempers 
the cold winds for both man and animal’s 
winter comfort, but also saves on feed for the 
livestock. € 
Black Hills Spruce 
BLACK HILLS. Med. We wish to call particular 
attention to the Black Hills Spruce. This variety, 
being the smallest of the Spruces, develops into 
sturdy, heavy bodied, compact, conical trees. It 
is a native of the Black Hills country of South 
Dakota, and as such will stand some dryness. Its 
color—green, with a silvery blue cast. Hardy, 
easily planted and a great favorite. 
NORWAY. A very thrifty and rapid growing Spruce 
of a good green color. Best Spruce for screens and 
windbreaks. Also useful for backgrounds of group“ 
and mass plantings, where it soon towers up behind 
the other evergreens.
