Evergreen Conifers. 13. PICEA ALBA. (\\ Hn E SI' Picea, continued. P. excelsa inverta (Weeping Spruce). The most grotesque weeping evergreen. With a little care while young, it forms a tall, erect tree with closely drooping branches, shrouding it with a thick drapery of green; a superior tree for cemeteries or where tall evergreens are needed in limited spaces. Its habit and appearance seem particu- larly appropriate for the solemn associations of the burial ground. $1 to S3. P. e. pendula (Drooping Norway Spruce). A very graceful form of the common Norway, in which the main branches extend hoi-izontally, and the lateral hang perpendicularly; much admired. $ P. Meuziesii. A California species; light green color, with stiff prickly leaves. $1 to $2. P. orientalis (Eastern Spruce). A handsome tree of medium size and very compact habit. The foli- age is bright, glossy and very abundant. One of the most valuable evergreen trees; it has no ob- jectionable traits and is appropriate for a great variety of situations. $1 to So. P. pungens (Colorado Blue Spruce). A magnificent tree, recently introduced from the Rocky moun- tains, which is rapidly taking a prominent place as the most popular "blue" evergreen; it is of fine compact habit, with abundant foliage of a sil- very or sage-green, or sometimes a bluish tint. Seedlings are variable in color, and grafted trees of the best varieties are still very scarce. We have a few small plants grafted from one of the finest specimens in the east. 2-year grafts, $1 each; seedlings, )y, to 3 feet, *2 to ^0, accord- ing to color. PICEA Smithiana (Himalayan Spruce ; syn., P. mor- iniUi}. A graceful tree, of light green color. CEPHALOTAXUS Fortunei (Chinese Yew). .?!. CHAMaiCYPARIS. Modern botanists h
