Of this variety I have several millions. AM. WHITE SPRUCE. (Picea Alba.) A pyramidal tree of dense growth, with light silvery green fcliage, A more com- pact tree in all respects than the Norway Spruce. Fine for lawn planting or use near the sea shore; one of the best for general use. BLACK HILLS SPRUCE. This is the Pi cea, Alba or the White Spruce but with this difference, that while the Norway and the White and Black spruces of the north will not endure the winter droughts of the western plains, this tree seems well adapted for all the regions from which the others are excluded. Grow- ing in a dry climate and often richly colored, it seems to meet the requirements of a vast field. While the air of the plains has but about 50° of moisture to 90" in the eastern states, it is necessarj to have something which will endure the bright sun and dry Ing winds of winter. We have not the ex- perience with this tree we have with the Rocky Mountain conifers, yet having a few thousand growing, we have great faith in them for the West, and see no reason why they should not do well in the East also. BALSAM FIR. (P. Balsamea.) A well known popular tree; very hand- some while young, assuming the upright or conical form; leaves dark green above, sil- very beneath, retains its color throughout the severest winter; grows quite rapidly when estab- lished, desir- able every way. , ^.
