The Color of the Colorado Blue Spruce. 
The color of the Colorado Blue Spruce is simi- 
lar to the bloom or sheen on a grape or plum. 
It is a powdery substance that can be wiped off 
the needles. This accounts for the trees losing 
color after a hard winter of snow and ice. 
The new growth again shows more or less the blue 
color. It must be remembered that only a certain 
percentage will grow into blue shiners. 
In young trees- such as we offer- the color is 
less distinct, but should get more pronounced 
as they grow older. Because of this we cannot 
guaranty the ultimate color and your order is 
only accepted with this understanding. We men- 
tion these facts so that our customers will not 
be disappointed upon delivery of the trees. 
Globe Arbor Vitae. Dwarf Iusho Pine. 
The Globe Arbor Vitae is one of the 
hardieést evergreens. Its form of growth 
is compact and round. Excellent for fore- 
ground, for foundation groups or for plan- 
ting in tubs. One of the oldest and most 
popular evergreens. Makes a splendid low 
hedge, requiring very little attention. Fo- 
liage is dense of lacelike appearance. 
Twice Transplanted Trees 
Extra heavy - 10-12 inches. 
Rach: # 1,00. 
Here is some good news. The real dwarf 
Mugho Pine is available again. ‘The seed 
for the trees we offer came from the 
mountains of liiddle Nurope, the home 
of the dwarf Musho Pine. There is no 
better dwarf eversreen than the Mugho 
Pine. Distinctly round and of compact 
form. A very hardy eversreen.
