OCR Text	Show i Derivation of "Spruce." It Is Interesting to observe tho derivation of tho word "spruce." From a number of early quotntlons it Is clear that "spruce," u variant of "pruce," simply stood for Prussian, tho form "spruco" rather than "pruco" being established es-tablished partly by tho German "spros-sen," "spros-sen," meaning sprouts, or young shoots, nnd sprossen-bler, or spruco beer, Is mado of tho sprouts of this fir.
