Douglas Fir 
DOUGLAS FIR 
(Pseudotsuga taxifolia) 
Here is a thoroughly 
worthy, tall-growing ever- 
green that approaches Con- 
color Fir as a handsome sub- 
ject. Our trees are a strain 
from the Rocky Mountains 
that carry excellent soft, 
bluish foliage and are won- 
derfully adapted through- 
out the Midwest, North and 
East. 
Douglas Fir is rapid-grow- 
ing and enduring, pest free, 
and will grow on any well 
drained soil. A superb wind- 
break and = climate-control 
tree, it is also excellent for 
screening and can be used 
as a head high, clipped 
hedge or as a lawn speci- 
men. 
15 to 18 inches, field-grown, 
Each $2.25, Three $6.00 
HETZ BLUE PFITZER 
(Juniperus glauca hetzi) 
Similar in growth to the Pfitzer Juniper, but having blue- 
colored foliage, this rapid growing, new evergreen is worthy 
of your consideration. Unquestionably one of the most useful 
ornamentals introduced in recent years. It is particularly valu- 
able as a spreading shrub for foundation planting. 
12 fo 18 inches, field-grown, Each $3.50, Pair $6.75 
We have selected two Spruce 
that are more in keeping with 
the dimensions of the modern 
home than some of the older, 
larger growing species such as 
Norway Spruce. 
Douglass «Firs ais not-astrue 
fir, but it is certainly one of the 
handsomest and hardiest of 
the taller-growing evergreens 
and no select list would be 
complete without it. 
All members of this group 
are completely winter hardy.

Black Hills Spruce 
BLACK HILLS SPRUCE 
(Picea glauca densata) 
Unusually symmetrical, compact and bushy, this 
native of the Black Hills of South Dakota is a 
famed beauty. Heavy-foliaged, sometimes quite 
blue in color, it makes a wonderful windbreak. 
Able to withstand dryness and cold, it reaches a

After the tree reaches 15 or 20 feet 
the lower branches begin to die out and 
the tree loses its youthful beauty. But 
a specimen that will stay so lovely for 
twenty years is a pretty good invest- 
ment at that! 
Our trees are grown from_ seed 
gathered from blue trees. They carry 
a greenish-blue hue and are especially 
colorful when the new growth breaks 
forth in the spring. They are not, how- 
ever, to be confused with the intense- 
ly blue grafted trees. Yet many seed- 
grown trees develop into stronger, more 
majestic blue trees than the grafted 
types.
