^"-^^^^^  MO  O  N'S  EVERGREENS 
The  bank  of  Evergreens  here  shown  against  a  terrace  wall  was  supplied  and  planted  by  us.  Their  beauty  of  foliage  persists 
the  year  round. 
ABIES.    THE  FIRS 
THE  Firs  are  mostly  quick-growing,  hardy  evergreens  that  are  useful  in  producing  natural  and  wooded 
effects,  as  well  as  in  the  more  attractive  decorations  of  parks  and  lawns.  They  mature  rapidly, 
and  on  this  account  are  valuable  for  planting  in  connection  with  slow-growing,  longer-lived  trees, 
because  they  give  the  prompt  effect  and  are  ready  to  give  place  to  the  slow-growing  permanent  trees 
when  they  mature.  The  soft,  deep  green  needles  of  most  varieties  are  fragrant  with  balsamic  odors. 
Much  used  for  grouping,  specimens,  wind-breaks  and  hedging. 
Abies  balsamea.  Balsam  Fir.  (M)  An 
ornamental  native  of  our  forests  that  is  very  hardy;
