Fraseri (28), and the European A, pectinata (29), lack desir- able ornamental value in comparison with other firs. A. concolor Lind. & Gord. (30), if selected from Colo- rado and not from the Pacific Coast range, is per- fectly hardy in the East, even in the spray of the sea. It is most ornamental, with its long, soft, gray-green needles and splendid form, is of rapid growth and with- out any troubles — the best fir for planting. A. Nordmanniana Spach. (31), from the Caucasus, is as hardy as the former, and, with its rich, lustrous, heavy foliage, dark green above, silvery underneath, the op- posite in color of the former, and also one of the finest, most dignified ornamentals, retaining its fine form long. It is free from troubles, and especially frost-hardy. A. Cephalonica Loud. (32), and var. ApoUinis (32a), from Greece, are more spreading in habit than the former two, and somewhat spruce- like in appearance. They are hardy south of New York and more adapted for southern planting than most Fig. 68. — Abies Cilicica Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Fernow, B.
