SPRUCE 
E23—NORWAY SPRUCE. (Picea excelsa). A Long-Time Favorite for 
Shelter-Belt and Ornamental Planting. It's the 
familiar Spruce of the prairie states—a tall, compact, ornamental pyramid, well 
branched to the ground, with thick, short needles of deep green. (See picture of 
another Norway Spruce specimen on page 27.) Hardy and well adapted to al- 
most 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 Christmas Trees on 
the lawn. 60 to 75 feet at maturity. (For small sizes and special windbreak 
grades, see page 28.)

E22—-COLORADO SPRUCE. (Picea pungens). Its Handsome Form and 
Color add Distinction to the Home Land- 
scape. 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 hardiness of the Rocky Moun- 
tains from whence it originated. As these green specimens mature they often 
times acquire a blue tinge.
