BALSAM FIR. 



One species furnishes practically all of the balsam-fir lumber pro- 

 duced. This species is the common balsam (Abies balsamea), which is 

 lumbered in the Northeast, in Pennsylvania, and in the Lake States. 

 This species is also cut in the southern Appalachian Mountains with 

 frazer fir (Abies fr as eri) .

WHITE FIR. 



White fir (Abies concolor) is a distinct botanical species growing 

 in practically all of the Western States and is the principal source of 

 commercial white-fir lumber. Other species reported by sawmills 

 under the same name are grand fir (Abies grandis), lovely fir (Abies 

 amabilis), noble fir (Abies nobilis), and red fir (Abies magnified).
