ANDORRA NURSERIES, 
FAGUS (BEECH). The Beech is a lordly tree, with its great, smooth trunk and its 
spreading branches, and though it never reaches the size of the Chestnut, it is far more 
beautiful and longer lived. 
Fagus ferruginea (American Beech). One of the most majestic native trees, always 
symmetrical and handsome ; excellent for avenues, screens, and lawns; the smooth, 
gray bark is an attractive feature, particularly in winter. All of the Beeches require 
care in transplanting, as their roots are sensitive to exposure. 50 cents to $1.00 each. 
F. sylvatica (European Beech). Of rather slower growth and more compact form 
than the American ; a choice and beautiful tree ; retains its foliage very late, and some¬ 
times all winter. 50 cents to $1.00 each. 
F. asplenifolia (Fern-leaved Beech). A beautiful and scarce medium-sized tree, 
with delicately divided, almost skeletonized, leaves. The young shoots are very slender 
and drooping, giving the tree a singular airy appearance. 75 cents to $1.50 each. 
F. purpurea (Purple Beech). When the Purple Beech is judiciously planted, it is one 
of the most ornamental and elfective objects that can be introduced into a landscape. 
It is a fine shade tree, hardy, long-lived, has but few insect enemies, and after it gets 
well established in the ground is a rapid grower. Early in the season the 3 r oung foliage 
is bright and glossy, of a deep purplish color. It is an admirable tree, either small or 
fully grown, as from its youth the leafage has that peculiarly beautiful purple color so 
intense in depth against green-foliaged trees. 75 cents to $1.50 each. 
Fraxinus Americana (White Ash). Broad, round head ; medium height; straight, 
clean trunk. While young it is remarkable for the softness and mellow green of its 
foliage. Will thrive where Fraxinus Europea will languish. An excellent shade and 
ornamental tree. 50 cents to $1.00 each. 
Fraxinus excelsior (European Ash). Full, spreading head; short, thick trunk; 
darker foliage than the American species. 50 cents to $1.00 each. 
F. excelsior aurea (Golden Ash). The foliage in the early spring and fall months is 
of a rich yellow ; it is especially showy 
during the winter for its beautiful 
golden bark and twisted branches. 
$1.00 to $2.00 each. 
Gingko (Salisburia or Maiden¬ 
hair Tree). One of the most 
remarkable and beautiful trees of 
Japan. It is of medium size and 
quite rapid growth, with spreading, 
fan-like foliage closely resembling a 
large Maiden-hair Fern. Hardy, ef¬ 
fective, and valuable. 
75 cents to $1.50 each. 
Gleditschia triacanthos (Honey 
Locust). A fine, rapid-growing tree 
with delicate foliage. 50 cents each. 
Gymnocladus (Kentucky Coffee Tree). A striking ornamental, irregular, open- 
topped tree, with peculiar, rough-barked, and twigless branches and immense, broad, 
feathery foliage of a peculiar bluish-green color. The flowers are white, in open 
racemes, followed by immense, long, brown pods. A very picturesque and desirable 
tree. 75 cents each. 
BRANCH OF THE MAIDEN-HAIR TREE. 
Six trees of one variety for the price of five ; twelve trees for the price of ten.
