Fir 
(Pseudotsuga Douglasi) 
A Lofty Hand¬ 
some Tree of Re¬ 
markable Vital¬ 
ity—So Valuable 
for Windbreak 
and Ornamental 
Planting. 
One of America’s oldest trees—splendid adaptability, 
endurance and vitality, enabling it to survive through 
the centuries. The tall, rather narrow pyramid form is 
compact and always graceful, with heavy foliage of deep 
green color. It is an evergreen of extremely long life, 
every year becoming more beautiful, retaining its grand 
form from the ground to the very tip of its lofty pyramid even through old age. 
Supremely hardy and so easily established, the Douglas Fir does well under the most 
trying conditions. 
The tree is a rapid, dense grower and of great vigor, making a superb wind' 
break evergreen. Nor can its landscape qualities be praised too highly, for planting 
either in a solitary position or in a group with other evergreens, it is a master- 
piece. Easily sheared, it is fine for hedges and screens also, the trimming making 
it even more compact. 
Our Douglas Fir this season are the finest that can be produced, grown from 
Northern Colorado seed of the hardiest, finest type. 100 to 120 feet at maturity.

Concolor Fir 
(Abies concolor) 
Out of the Rocky Mountains of Colo¬ 
rado has come this magnificent, hardy 
Concolor Fir. The long, graceful needles 
are extremely thick on the branches, vary¬ 
ing in color from light green to gray-blue; 
they give the tree a beautiful soft, full appearance and a radiant 
color effect that justifies its common name, “Silver Fir.” 
Our Concolor Firs are of the Colorado type—rapid growers, 
perfectly hardy, so easy to transplant, and entirely free of any 
insect troubles. It never loses its lower branches, and grows 
more compact and shapely each season, often reaching a height 
of 60 to 80 feet. The lustrous foliage and grand form place 
it far forward of the more common evergreens—a superb speci¬ 
men for the lawn—wonderful in groups or screens. We have 
a finer stock of Concolor Fir this season than we have ever 
grown—beauties that will give complete satisfaction.
