DOUGLAS FIR 
ae 
E10—DOUGLAS FIR (Pseudotsuga Douglasi). Superb Windbreak Evergreen—and 
Favorite Ornamental! A tree of superlative qualities—supremely hardy and 
healthy, entirely immune from red spider, drought resisting, and then handsome 
as well. It grows quickly and compactly, with graceful branches thickly cloaked 
in deep green lustrous foliage. An ideal tree to use in group plantings where 
space is limited, as it develops a lofty, graceful pyramid, becoming more beauti- 
ful with each year's growth. For windbreaks, its popularity has grown by leaps 
and bounds and it is also an ideal evergreen for backgrounds and lawn groups. 
You will never be disappointed in Ferris’ Douglas Fir. 
We grow our Douglas Fir from northern Colorado seed of the very finest, hardi- 
est strain, developing a more compact, symmetrical tree than the southern type. 
60 to 80 feet at maturity. Don’t overlook the transplants and special windbreak 
grades on page 27.

El1I—CONCOLOR FIR (Abies Concolor). Most magnificent Lawn Tree! Without 
question, Ferris’ Concolor Fir specimens are the finest ever produced anywhere 
—so symmetrical, compact, and handsome in every sense of the word. There is 
no finer lawn tree, a wonderful living Christmas Tree, and for groups and back- 
ground 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 branch- 
es, varying in color from light green to gray-blue, giving 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 50 to 60 feet. Rapid in growth, perfectly hardy, and en- 
tirely 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. Each 10 25

complete security in screens and windbreaks, and is the country’s foremost

esque on the landscape. Rapid in growth, very hardy, and does well in almost 
any soil, developing fine windbreaks and screens, and is one of the best for 
reforestation. Popular for landscaping, also. (We offer seedlings on page 27).
