Picea excelsa (Norway Spruce) 
One of the best known and one of the hardiest of conifers. Native of north- 
ern Europe. Conical in form of growth and with deep green foliage. Does 
well in rather sterile soil and defies the blast in cold, exposed situations. 
Rapid growing, the name excelsa meaning lofty. Valuable for windbreaks 
and makes a good specimen tree. Holds a place of deserved esteem.

broad pyramid with age. Trees 15 years old are only 3 feet in height and 
present the appearance of large spruces in miniature. Dark green. Very 
hardy. One of the best, having a multitude of uses. We are not certain of 
the name.

dwarfs.

Picea excelsa sherwoodi (Sherwood's Multnomah Spruce) 
A spruce that is new and entirely different. It may be described as being 
compact but of irregular, flattened, globe like habit of growth. The parent 
tree which is 45 to 50 years of age is 5 feet tall and 10 feet across. It is at its 
best with little or no pruning. The outstanding individuality of this hardy 
spruce makes it admirably fitted for naturalistic and picturesque plantings. 
The irregular outline gives it a rugged appearance. Few trees in our nursery 
attract more attention than the thick growing parent tree.
