SOI ANJCAt: 
the end of the famed Wissahickon drive, the conditions presented 
J ^ ^y Andorra Nurseries do no violence to the portion of Fair- 
mount Park which is adjoining. Indeed, the last half-mile of the 
most lovely park drive in America is bounded by a part of the Andorra 
Nurseries ; and a sharp turn to the left, as one emerges from the shade 
by the Wissahickon, leads into a beautiful tree-bordered nursery road. 
With the wide extent and varied contour of our Nurseries, and 
with the great variety of trees and plants grown, there comes a special 
attractiveness. No day in the year is without its own attractions at 
Andorra, and during the spring and summer months, every morning 
brings something of special beauty in flower or leaf. 
The fields of Iris and of Peony are great sheets of brilliant bloom 
for many weeks. The surprising display of Mountain Laurel, growing 
here most happily, is matched by the gorgeous Rhododendrons, not in 
set fields, but in lines and corners which make their colors the more 
enjoyable. The beauty of the more delicate hardy perennials is enhanced 
by contrast with stately borders of specimen trees and shrubs. One may 
see, too, a perfect scale of delicate, deep and rich colors in the ever¬ 
greens, contrasting with the brilliancy of the Japanese Maples. 
Andorra needs a visit — many visits — to be appreciated. The visitor 
can see suggestive effects ; he can pick out the actual trees and plants 
he likes, and have them reserved for him. By all means, then, visit 
Andorra, and see nurseries not paralleled anywhere. 
The Andorra Nurseries can be reached by either the Philadelphia & 
Reading or Pennsylvania railroads to Chestnut Hill station, and from 
there by the Chestnut Hill (City Line) Trolley to the city line, from 
where it is only three minutes’ walk to the Nursery. 
The descriptions in this Catalogue have been made with care, to 
fairly represent the great stock from which they are written. We have 
kept nothing unworthy. As the stock varies constantly, prices are not 
here included; they may be found on a separate list.
