DOUGLAS FIR 
DOUGLAS FIR (Pseudotsuga douglasi). 70 ft. R. 
Native to the eastern Rockies, this westerner has 
by sheer merit made third place in importance of 
larger evergreens in New England; excelled only 
by White Pine and Canada Hemlock. Every 
landscape should have at least one. Full medium- 
narrow pointed cone of slightly roundish outline. 
Needles 1 inch or slightly more, pointed but soft, 
flat; medium dark green to slightly blue. Flour¬ 
ishes in all conditions except wet soils. Descrip¬ 
tion fails to do this plant full justice; try it in 
your home plantings. p, ch . 0

Douglas Fir 
SPRUCE 
COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE (Picea pungens 
glauca). 80 ft. M to R. Probably the best- 
known evergreen. An admirable tree but with its 
extreme exotic color should be used understand¬ 
ing^. Serves a fine purpose, by planting at the 
end of short areas, to simulate greater space; its 
color gives the illusion of a tree veiled by the 
haze of distance. Above all, don’t fall into the 
mistake of planting a pair on either side of, and 
half-way up your front walk. Exceedingly good 
for seashore plantings. O. K. anywhere but in 
shade and wet soils.

AMONG PLANTS FOR ACCENT, the large-growing Evergreen Trees hold a foremost place. They 
are strong and bold, and have definitely pronounced form. Summer, winter, spring, and fall they provide 
constant color and form accent—neat and precise when young, sturdy and majestic at maturity. 
In winter, their boughs bending beneath the weight of snow furnish a temporary variation of form, and 
the most beautiful of color contrasts. While each home-development presents its individual opportunities 
for their use, perhaps, on an average, about one-half of the major Accent Trees should be selected from this 
list of Large Evergreens.
