ANDORRA NURSERIES, 
A class of indispensable trees and shrubs 
for parks, private and public grounds, and 
possessing varied characteristics of habit 
of growth, form and coloring of foliage, and adapted to a variety of soils. They are particu¬ 
larly valuable for ornamental planting, since they are always objects of beauty, summer and 
winter alike. 
We pay particular attention to the cultivation of these trees, and grow them a good 
distance apart in order to form perfect specimens. All have been regularly and carefully 
transplanted, and have an abundance of roots.
