ABIES FRASERI. Fraser's Fir. The northern 
species, Abies balsamea, is almost worthless 
in any but the latitude of middle and north- 
ern Maine, as it becomes "leggy." thin, and 
is short-lived. Fraser's Fir, however, a dis- 
tinct species from the highest peaks of the 
Caiolina mountains, makes a perfect speci- 
men lawn and screen tree, with dark green, 
thick-set foliage (blue underneath) and com- 
pact, pyramidal habit. It is one of the 
choicest of all American conifers of the Fir 
section. 
An unusually fine lot of this splendid Fir. 
The attention of nurserymen is particularly 
called to Abies fraseri as the best Fir of 
this tvpe that is grown in this country.
