Silver Fir 
24 
Evergreens are the greatest factor in successful planting of 
home grounds. They combine in the highest degree, Beauty, 
Adaptability and Endurance. 
Breathing a truly great personality, evergreens are equally 
harmonious in the intimacy of home surroundings or the austere 
solitude of nature. Shade and spicy aroma surround them in 
summer s heat, warmth and beauty in winter’s cold. And in 
storms of snow and ice they wrap themselves in mantles of 
incredible and gleaming purity, lending an air of quiet dignity 
to the home. 
We are fortunate in having evergreens in large as well as 
medium and small sizes. Evergreens for immediate effect are a 
specialty at Little Tree Farms and their cost is very little more 
than that of the smaller sizes ordinarily sold. 
The Firs 
The Firs (Abies) are among the hardiest and most 
effective evergreens. They supply the elements of 
grace and luxuriant softness in a landscape planting, 
together with symmetry of structure and varied 
color tone. The very best of the firs for ornamental 
and protective planting are here offered. It pays 
to buy the best. 
Silver Fir 
(Abies concolor) 
The Silver Fir (often called White Fir) has ex¬ 
quisite, silvery-toned foliage, soft in texture. Its 
habit of growth is erect and the broad graceful 
branches are very decorative. This vigorous, healthy 
Fir is always a favorite. 
For fine lawn specimens there is nothing better 
than Silver Fir. Allowed to develop naturally, it 
maintains the magnificent proportions shown in the 
illustration at the right. It usually retains its branches 
to the ground and is very long lived. 
Silver Firs are very lovely in border groups with 
other evergreens. 
Little Tree Farms Silver Firs are grown from the 
best Colorado seed and are sturdy, well-rooted plants. 
Each specimen plant has been three or more times 
transplanted ana has a large mass of fine roots. They 
are dug with roots in a ball of native loam which is 
carefully wrapped in burlap. 
The plants offered are exceptionally fine and we 
enthusiastically recommend them for ornamental 
use, bordering paths or drives, for single lawn speci¬ 
mens, and in park and woodland groups.
