Abies veitchi (Veitch Fir) 
Attractive slender habit. The bright, shiny green foliage is marked 
with two broad bands of white beneath so that the swaying of the 
branches produces a most unusual sight. It is a tree of Japanese origin, 
discovered by John Veitch, the English nurseryman, in 1860 in the 
Japanese mountains. While it is considered hardy in the northern states, 
somewhat sheltered positions are recommended. One of the most rapid 
growing of our Firs. It is especially handsome when young.

rare in cultivation, but well worth growing where climatic conditions 
are not too severe. Hardy as far north as New York. The form we offer 
is the selected blue type.
