windbreak and Christmas tree planting. 
Norway Spruce—Norway has been more 
widely used for Christmas tree planting 
and for windbreaks than any other species. 
Norway seedlings will be limited in supply 
for some time. 
Colorado Blue Spruce—One of the hand- 
somest native trees growing in the Rocky 
Mountains. Use this tree for background 
and individual specimen planting. Trees 
grow quite slowly when young, but when 
six or seven years old, after becoming es- 
tablished in a new planting, grow surpris- 
ing fast. The fine blue color comes as 
the trees get older. Prefer heavy soil. 
Black Spruce —A rapid growing tree, 
suitable for Christmas trees and dense 
forestry. 
White Spruce — Makes a more dense 
Christmas tree than Norway and grows 
just as fast. Closely related to Black Hills

Widely used for ornamental, forestry, 
Spruce. Fine also for windbreak and for- 
estry planting. 
Black Hills Spruce—Very compact, deep 
bluish-green foliage. Best Spruce for dry 
country planting. Also the best Spruce for 
planting in yards, as it stays small for 
many years and is highly ornamental. 
Often used in window boxes when young 
because of its dense, shapely habit. We 
know of no better table Christmas tree. 
Engelmann Spruce—Steel blue foliage. 
Has slender pyramidal branches which 
form a dense, narrow pyramid. Its blue 
color comes in the winter and makes this 
tree command a premium price among 
Christmas buyers. 
Morheim Blue Spruce — A highly orna- 
mental lawn tree makes a very fine speci- 
men. The taller it grows the more beauti- 
ful it becomes. Stock is always scarce. 
Should be staked for a few years.
