IT’S NOT A HOME UNTIL IT’S PLANTED m 
FIR (Abies) 
The Fir Family is made up of interesting members gathered from all over the Northern Hemis¬ 
phere. They grow into specimen trees and should be used as lawn and border speciments. 
Alpine Fir (. Lasiocarpa )—A very slow growing tree, 
native of the western Rockies. Its foliage is a 
pleasing soft blue. Belongs to the smaller garden 
where it will make an interesting long lifed specimen. 
5 yr. T 4-8" 310.00 per 100; 15-18" 31.50; 18-24" 
32.00; 2-232.50; 2^-3' 33.00. 
Fir Balsam —Th is is a fine tree for shady places.

noted for its fragrance. Growth similar to the 
spruces. T 5-8" 39 00 per 100; T 8-12" 312.50

Fir Double Balsam {Frazer s) —Similar to the 
Balsam Fir in color and growth differing as this 
variety has about twice as many needles. This has 
the effect of thickening up the foliage and making 
the specimen more dense. 18-24" 31-25; 2-3' 31-25; 
3-4' 32.50. 
Fir Blue Cork (Arizonica Argentea) —A grafted 
Fir with an intense deep blue color. Makes a fine 
specimen. Very rare. 15-18" 34.00; 18-24" 35.00. 
Fir Concolor —The famous Silver or White Fir. 
Growth rapid and conical. Foliage gray green or 
silver color. Fine for specimen planting. TT 6-10" 
315.00 per 100; B&B 18-24" 31.50; 2-3' 32.25; 3-4' 
32.75; 4-5' 34.00; 5-6' 36.00; 6-7' 38.00; 7-8' 311-00;

Fir Douglas —This is a very desirable evergreen, 
doing well in almost every situation, retaining the 
branches to the ground. The growth is naturally 
pyramidal. It is well adapted to trimming. Foliage 
grayish green, soft and feathery. We highly recom¬ 
mend this tree. 2 yr. sldgs. 2-5" 33.50 per 100;

5-6' 33.75; 6-7' 35.00. 
Fir European Silver ( Pectinata )—This is the 
common Fir of Europe. The underside of the needles 
is marked by two heavy white bands giving to the 
upward glance at a large tree a very glaucous or 
silver effect. The upperside of the needle is a flat 
green, so one does not notice the silver underside of 
a small tree. Growth is rapid. Here is an opportunity 
to plant a specimen tree that everyone does not have.
