Water gardens. THE BOOK OF WATER GARDENING Abies concolor is a beautiful tree of close dense growth; it has light glaucous green leaves, giving the tree an attractive color of bluish white. Picea pungens glauca Kosteri (Koster's form of the Colorado Blue Spruce), is the handsomest of the Spruce family. The type comes from the mountains of Colorado, and has beautiful silvery blue colored leaves. It grows to a height of from 80 to 100 feet, has stout, rigid, horizontal branches, and a fine dense habit of growth. It is a good ornamental lawn tree as well as being useful as a wind- break. In front of the evergreens above mentioned the smaller growing ones should be planted, such as the golden Arbor vita?. Thuya occidentalis lutea (T. George. A WINDBREAK OF PINES AND SPRUCES FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE WATER GARDEN Peabody) ; this is a fine low tree of pyramidal habit of growth; the young fol- iage of the current year's growth is bright yellow, the older foliage green varie- gated with yellow. Thuya occidentalis Yervseneana is a smaller and denser tree than the type; the branchlets of the current year's growth are tinged with deep golden yellow, changing in Winter to brownish orange. [33].
