PRESEN 
This is our Spring Bulletin for 1955. We have listed a nice selection of ever- 
greens. Small evergreens are very scarce this 
spring, especially in the sizes 
we offer. These prices are only for cash and carry business, no mail orders. 
We urge you to come and buy early as we are sure our supply will not last long,

The Color of the Colorado Blue Spruce. 
Our Colorado Blue Spruce Offer 
The color of the Colorado Blue Spruce is similar to the bloom or sheen on a grape 
or plum. It is a powdery substance that can be wiped off the needles. This fact 
accounts for the trees losing color after a hard winter of snow and ice. The new 
growth again shows the blue color. It must be remembered that omly a certain per- 
centage will grow into blue shiners. In young trees the color is less distinct 
but should get more pronounced as they grow older. Because of this we cannot gua- 
ranty the ultimate color. Sales will be only made with this understanding. 
We Offer:
