Douglas Fir 
Douglas Fir, a superb tree for both large and small 
lawns, growing more beautiful with age. 
Douglas Fir is one of the "very best” evergreens 
known. Of noble form and size, of distinguished 
color and delicately beautiful texture, it adds to these 
remarkable qualities the final grace of being supremely 
healthy, useful, and adaptable to many soils. All of 
the great landscape gardeners have known and loved 
it. It is found on most of our finest estates, and is 
equally right for the small home. 
This glorious evergreen is often used alone or in 
small groups on lawns as is shown above. Its clear 
dark green, silvering off at the tips of the branches, 
is especially charming in early spring. Standing thus 
alone, or in small groups, the Douglas shows to the 
full its magnificent outline, a pyramid from the very 
ground to its peak. But no picture can show the 
texture of the foliage, at once impenetrably thick 
and exquisitely soft. The species is subject to a 
fascinating habit of variation: while one specimen 
may resemble the hemlock in dark green color and 
graceful habit, another will carry a lighter shade and 
stiller habit which suggests the spruce family. 
(Pseudotsuga douglasi) 
A Douglas Fir hedge is a thing of beauty, of per¬ 
manence and of most adequate protection. The 
heavily based structure of the tree and the extremely 
thick growth of its smaller branches admirably 
adapt it to hedge purposes. And its habit of throwing 
out great numbers of new shoots after pruning gives 
it a perfect surface when sheared into formal shape. 
A Douglas hedge has the soft graceful texture of the 
hemlock, with the impenetrability of the spruce. 
Please observe the massive and beautiful hedge 
pictured below. 
As a screen planting Douglas Fir is thoroughly 
successful, alone or mixed with other evergreens. 
It grows rapidly, is very dense, and always maintains 
its beauty. 
At Little Tree Farms we know and grow Douglas 
Fir with the enthusiasm born of successful experience. 
The several times transplanted Douglas Firs priced 
herewith are strong, splendid plants. They have 
been sheared and pruned for the greatest compactness 
and symmetry of future growth. 
See pages 13 to 19 for special information 
about, and prices of, Douglas Fir for hedges 
and screens. 
Douglas Fir makes a handsome and 
protective hedge. 
In the Spring the silvery tips of Douglas Fir are 
like myriads of delicate flowers.
