Needles  and  Cone  of  the  Balsam  Fir 
{Abies  Balsamea) 
Abies  •  The  Firs 
Species  marked  (L)  usually 
attain  at  maturity  a  height  of  60 
feet.  (M)  sigrnifies  from  30  to 
60  feet.  (S)  from  10  to  30  feet. 
(D)  4  to  10  feet  and  (VD)  be- 
low 4  feet. 
The  Firs  are  mostly  quick-growing  hardy  ever- 
greens that  are  useful  in  producing  natural  and 
wooded  effects,  as  well  a3  in  the  more  attractive 
decorations  of  parks  and  lawns.  They  mature 
rapidly  and  on  this  account  are  valuable  for  plant- 
ing in  connection  with  slower-growing,  longer- 
lived  trees ;  because  they  give  the  prompt  effect 
and  are  ready  to  give  place  to  the  slower-growing  permanent  trees  when  they  mature.  The  soft,  deep 
green  needles  of  most  varieties  are  fragrant  with  balsamic  odors.  Much  used  for  grouping,  specimens, 
windbreaks  and  hedging.
