Free Colorado Blue
Spruces Available
The National Arbor Day Foundation is giving 10 free Colorado Blue Spruce trees to people who become Foundation members during April, 1985.
The free trees are part of the nonprofit Foundation’s effort to encourage tree planting for conservation and beautification throughout America.
Colorado Blue Spruces were selected for this campaign because of their many uses in the home landscape, John Rosenow, the Foundation’s executive director, said. “They lend beauty to their surroundings with their silver blue-green color and compact conical shape. They can be used as individual ornamentals, an energy-saving windbreak, a privacy screen, or as living Christmas trees.”
The 10 free Colorado Blue Spruces will be shipped postpaid in April or May with enclosed planting instructions. The six to twelve inch trees are guaranteed to grow, or they will be replaced free of charge. The Foundation will give the 10 free trees to members contributing $10 during April.
To become a member of the Foundation and to receive the free trees, a $10 membership contribution should be sent to Ten Blue Spruces, National Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Avenue, Nebraska City, Nebraska 68410, by April 30,1985.
