MOST MAGNIFICENT LAWN TREE 
Without question, Ferris’ Concolor Fir specimens are the finest that have ever been produced 
anywhere—so symmetrical, com 
lawn tree, and for groups and background screens they have no equal. 
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 
light green to gray-blue, giving the tree a beautiful, soft, full appearance, and the name “Silver 
Fir.” The never lose their lower branches, growing more compact, shapely and majestical each 
season, often reaching a height of 50 to 60 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. ;
