ABIES . The Firs 
We can always count on the Firs to maintain throughout their lives a decidedly 
pyramidal form. We can always count on their hardiness. The effect is of sturdiness and 
opulence.

Ancient species from northern Africa and Asia Minor, bringing to us the interest of 
old tradition. As they mature they lose the slightly pyramidal form which the young 
plants take and fling out their branches and assume all sorts of picturesque shapes. Their 
effect is one of cool richness.

These are really stately forest trees, and attain their real beauty only when considered 
and planted as such; of loosely pyramidal form with much grace of outline and variety of 
color and texture.
