yl^ tiL MOON'S EVERGREENS 



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 ornamental 

 large-growing evergreens are contained in this group. The beauty of most varieties is best displayed when 

 the trees are used as individual specimens. 



Balsam Fir. Abies Balsamea. (M). An 

 ornamental native of our forests that is very hardy 

 and does best in the northern states. Has dark 

 needles of pleasant fragrance; grows rapidly when 

 young, and does well in moist soils.

White Fir. Abies Concolor. (L). One of the 

 most satisfactory evergreens for planting in New 

 England and other sections where the severe Winters 

 are too cold for many varieties. Being of a glaucous 

 green color makes it very attractive. A valuable 

 tree that generally develops into a beautiful specimen.
