The Norway spruce (P/Vccj cxrdsa), a native of Kurope. is extensively planted on this cominent for ornamental purposes. It can be readily distinjjuished from our native spruces by its twijjs and small branches, which have a decided tendencv to droop, and by its cones, which are considerably longer—4 to '> in. The wood of the different species is very similar. It resembles that of the soft pines, but is lighter in colour, less durable, has a fmer grain and is tasteless and non-resinous. (Generally speaking the main uses of the spruces arc for lum- l)er, dimension timber, and pulp. PICEA MARIANA (Mill.) B. S. P.
