Firs and Hemlock 
T HESE vigorous upright trees are the most glorious in our coniferous forests. 
The needles are not stiff as with a spruce, but soft and flattened and, better 
yet, the Hemlock and the Firs are much longer lived—retaining even their 
lowest branches to a ripe old age in the proper situation. The Firs like dry soil—well 
drained and the Hemlock likes shelter from heavy winds. They are both very quick 
growing. Unsurpassed for single specimens or for massed plantings. 
Balsam Fir (Abies balsamea) 
Hardy in Zone II, this species 
prefers cold weather and should 
not be planted in the south. Likes 
moist soil, unlike most other 
Firs. Heavily fragrant needles.
