Douglas Fir 
(Pseudotsuga douglassi) 
This is the outstanding tree of its type for the middle west. Trans¬ 
plants very readily. Is free from diseases, is able to withstand extremes 
of winter and summer temperatures and develops into a majestic tree 
with beauty improving with age. 
There are two distinct forms of Douglas Fir—one the dark green, 
gigantic-growing timber tree of the northwestern Pacific Coast area, 
and the other type from Colorado. The latter variety is the one rec¬ 
ommended, both for its hardiness and its great beauty. The typical form 
of young trees is an open, broad, sharp-pointed pyramid; the lower 
branches are straight or somewhat drooping, and the middle or higher 
one trend upward. 
Douglas Fir grows rapidly. Its general outline is more graceful 
and less stiff than the Spruce. Foliage is soft and fragrant. Our 
plants are the type from northern Colorado, the seed being collected in 
deep gorges of high altitudes, where the blue and silvery" foliage is 
characteristic. The growth is compact and symmetrical with rather 
short needles, in contrast to Southern Colorado and New Mexico types 
which are of doubtful hardiness, irregular, and open-growing. It 
reaches sixty feet or more in height, with a spread of branches twelve 
to eighteen feet. It is a rapid grower and thrives well in almost any 
situation. Plant with plenty of room for future development.
