Abies lasiocarpa (Alpine Fir) 
This sturdy tree bears much the same relation to firs that the Mountain Hemlock 
does to hemlocks. It is the slender picturesque conifer of the higher elevations 
being truly a mountain subject. It thrives at the lower levels where it almost 
seems to bring the mountain atmosphere with it and to the tree lover there is at 
once an association of mountain meadows or rocks and snow fed streams where 
it prefers to grow. The dark silvery tinged foliage resembles the Noble Fir 
though having shorter needles and has the healthful fragrance of other firs.

Abies nobilis (Noble Fir) 
The name noble describes this magnificent tree perfectly. A native of the Coast 
and Cascade mountains of western Washington and Oregon where its dignified 
appearance is set out in striking effect. The branches grow in whorls with great 
regularity along the main stem of the tree and are broadly spreading toward 
the tips. The foliage is usually a beautiful bluish green in color. It is valuable 
for landscaping purposes and the best of all for the production of Christmas 
trees. Very hardy.
