MOON'S EVERGRE 



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 decoration of parks and lawns. They generally 

 are of pyramidal growth and symmetrical outline, and mature rapidly. Some of the most orna- 

 mental large-growing evergreens are contained in this group. The soft, deep green needles of most varieties 

 are fragrant with balsamic odors, and are most valuable when used as individual specimens.
