Evergreen 
£20-Colorado Blue Spruce (ices punsens 
glauca). The tree 
that everyone longs for—with its wonderful coloring of silvery-blue-green, and 
its superb form—graceful branches cascading in even layers from a tapering 
crown to a broad base. 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 maturity.

NOTE: These seedlings and transplants were all grown from seed taken from 
select.Blue Spruce but do not show blue to any extent when so young—not until 
they reach a height of 18-24 inches. A large number of them will develop into 
very fine Blue specimens. 
:22-Colorado Spruce (Picea pungens). Its Hand- 
some Form and Color add 
Distinction to the Home Landscape. Here is a splendid specimen for your lawn, 
used either singly or in groups. It develops a broad, even pyramid with thick, 
graceful branches from the ground up, covered with heavy lustrous foliage of 
deep green sometimes touched with silver. It has the grand bearing and hardi- 
ness of the Rocky Mountains from whence it originated. As these green speci- 
mens mature they often times acquire a blue tinge.

glaucous green, sometimes intense blue. Extremely hardy, easy to establish, ma- 
turing at 35 to 50 feet. Great favorite for lawn specimen planting, splendid for

£24-Norway Spruce (ices excelsa). A. Long-Time 
Favorite for Shelter-Belt and Or- 
namental Planting. It’s the familiar Spruce of the prairie states — a tall, com- 
pact, ornamental pyramid, well branched to the ground, with thick, short needles 
of deep green. (See picture of a specimen Norway Spruce on page 24.) Hardy 
and well adapted to almost any good growing soil; the most rapid growing of 
all the Spruces. For many years our Norway Spruce have been in great demand 
for windbreak plantings, hedges, background groups, as well as living Christ- 
mas Trees on the lawn. 60 to 75 feet at maturity. (For small sizes and special 
windbreak grades, see page 34).
