F19 Colorado Spruce (Picea pungens). Its Handsome Form 
ee 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, cov- 
ered with heavy lustrous foliage of deep green sometimes touched with silver. It has the 
grand bearing and hardiness of the Rocky Mountains from whence it originated. As these 
green specimens mature they often times acquire a blue tinge.
