The under side of the foliage is bluish white. As a large tree it is con- spicuous. In Japan it grows near the ocean. Oriental. The Oriental, or Eastern Spruce, equal* Nordmann's fir in dark color, and exceeds it i» density of foliage. As it retains its foliage for lo or more years, while most Evergreens drop their leaves sooner, it never appears open nor allows the dead inner branches to be seen. It is a tall, slow-growing pyramidal tree, which should be more used. Douglas. Unlike many Pacific coast Evergreens,, this has proved hardy on the Atlantic seaboard. It is very rapid-growing, densely clothed to the ground with vigorous branches, and in color a per- fect light green. Colorado.
