Forests and forestry. 165. Cone and Leaves of the Abies amabilis, of one-third the natural length ble beauty. Its range extends from Washington Territory to Wyoming and New Mexico. 1381. The Noble Fm {Ahks nobUis). In general aspect, this resembles the Western Silver Fir (A. amor bUis), but the foliage is of lighter green, and the branch- es more rigid. It grows to a height of 200 feet, with a di- ameter of six to ten feet, and it has a thick cinnamon-col- ored bark, which is red on the inside. This tree is known also as the " Red Fir," and forms forests in Northern California. It is fouud on Mount Shasta, at from 6,000 to 8,000 feet above tide; on the Cascade Mountains, and on the Columbia River. Its wood is said to be superior to that of any other of the firs. 1382. The Western Bai^ SAii Fir (Abies grandis). This is a large tree, nearly resem- bling the Western Silver Fir. It occurs in Oregon and Cali- fornia, upon the Sierra Ne- vada and Cascade Mountains, along with the sugar and the yellow pines, which are at times scarcely superior to it in size. On the Columbia and the Willamette, it is known as the " White Spruce," to distinguish it from the Douglas Spruce. Most of the lumber exported from Oregon is from these two trees. This tree grows to the height of 200 to 300 feet, and a diameter of four to sis: feet. In British Columbia it is limited to the coast, and its. 16C.
