CONCOLOR FIR 
(Abies Concolor) 
Concolor Fir specimens are 
the finest that have ever been produced anywhere—so 
symmetrical, compact, and handsome in every sense of 
the word. There is no finer lawn tree, and for groups 
Originating in Colorado, they have acquired all the grandeur and 
hardiness of the Rocky Mountains. Long, graceful needles are extremely 
thick on the branches, varying in color from light green to gray-blue, giv- 
ing the tree a beautiful, soft, full appearance, and the name “Silver Fir.” 
They never lose their lower branches, growing more compact, shapely and 
majestical each season, often reaching a height of 60 to 80 feet. Rapid in 
growth, perfectly hardy, and entirely free of any insect troubles. 
If you are looking for a truly grand evergreen for your lawn, by all 
means plant one or more of our beautiful Concolor Fir. 
(If the seedlings are desired by parcel post, add 8c for-25, or 1Sc for 100) 
DOUGLAS FIR 
(Pseudofsuga Douglasi) 
Superb A tree of superlative quali- 
Windbreak ties — supremely hardy and 
healthy, entirely immune 
Evergreen from red spider, drought re- 
—and sisting, and then handsome 
Favorite as well. It grows quickly 
Ornamental and compactly, with grace- 
ful branches thickly cloaked 
in deep green lustrous foliage. An ideal tree 
to use in group plantings where space is 
somewhat limited, as it develops a lofty, grace- 
ful pyramid, becoming more beautiful with 
each year's growth. For windbreaks, its pop- 
ularity has grown by leaps and bounds, and 
it is also an ideal evergreen for backgrounds 
and lawn groups. You will never be disap- 
pointed in Ferris’ Douglas Fir. 
We grow our Douglas Fir from northern Col- 
orado seed of the very finest hardiest strain, 
developing a more compact, symmetrical tree 
than the southern type offered by most grow- 
ers, which is of doubtful hardiness. We can- 
not say too much for the beauty, superb vital- 
ity, and usefulness of our select Douglas Fir. 
Sixty to eighty feet at maturity.
