ANDORRA NURSERIES, 
CATALPA (INDIAN BEAN). A valuable class of ornamental foliaged and 
flowered trees of easy culture on common soils. Leaves usually of immense size, heart- 
shaped, and of pleasing color. Flowers borne in upright, large panicles, similar to that of the 
Horse Chestnut, yet broader and larger ; the individual flowers are trumpet shaped, and some¬ 
what fragrant. Valuable for lawn, street, or park planting. They are of rapid growth and 
flower when quite young. 
Catalpa Bungeii (Bunge’s C.). A species from China, of dwarf habit, growing only 
from three to five feet high. Foliage large and glossy, flowers in large clusters a foot 
long. 75 cents each. 
C. bignonioides or syringafolia (Common C. or Indian Bean). A fine growing 
tree with large, heart-shaped leaves; blooms late, with yellow and purple flowers ; 
blooms latter end of July. 75 cents each. 
C. var. aurea (Golden Catalpa). Striking effects can be produced by interspersing this 
tree with those of duller green foliage, its golden coloring bringing out the other greens, 
which without it would have appeared dull and lifeless. If left in a dwarf state by 
annual pruning, it is excellent for associating with fine-leaved plants in making sub¬ 
tropical effects. $1.00 each. 
C. speciosa. A variety which is said to have originated in the West. It is represented 
to be finer and hardier than the common, hence better adapted to forest and ornamental 
planting. Its blossoms open two to three weeks earlier than those of bignonioides. 
$1.00 to $2.00 each. 
Cerasus serotinus (Wild Cherry). One of the most beautiful native trees, whose 
foliage is the darkest green, and retains its color late in the fall, being one of the last to 
lose its leaves. 
75 cents each. 
CercidiphyHum Japonicum. A new and rare Japanese tree of high ornamental merit 
and adapted to all soils. The flowers are inconspicuous, but the foliage is heart-shape, 
and when young is beautifully colored with purple and flesh color, changing to a light 
and pleasing green. The tree is of dense, broadly pyramidal habit of growth, with 
smooth, reddish bark, and keeps its lower branches well. A first-class lawn tree, and 
worthy of general use. 75 cents to $1.50 each. 
Cercis Canadensis (Red-bud or Judas Tree). Irregular rounded form, foliage 
medium sized. A valuable lawn tree, bearing quantities of beautiful pink flowers in 
May. 50 cents to $1.00 each. 
C. Japonica (Japan Judas Tree). Introduced here from Japan several years ago. 
It is a dwarf tree of great beauty. About the 15th of May every branch is completely 
covered with pink bloom. The flowers are considerably larger and of rather deeper color 
than those of the C. Canadensis. 50 cents to $1.50 each. 
Chionanthus Virginica (White Fringe). A small native tree or shrub. Perfectly 
hardy here, and forms a small, round tree, or large bush, of great beauty. The leaves 
are very large and long, and the blossoms are composed of long, narrow petals, which 
come out in such profusion that the tree is a solid mass of delicate snow-white flowers. 
50 cents to $1.00 each. 
Cladrastis tinctoria, “ Virgilia lutea ” (Yellow Wood). One of the finest A meri- 
can trees. Of moderate growth, broadly rounded head, foliage compound like that of 
Robinia, and of a light-green color, turning to a warm yellow in autumn ; flowers pea¬ 
shaped, white, sweet-scented, appearing in June in great profusion, in long, drooping 
racemes covering the tree. 
$1.00 each. 
Six trees of one variety for the price of five; twelve trees for the price of ten.
