Founding the Andorra Nurseries 5 
beginning, have grown year by year until at the present time there 
are included in their boundaries over a thousand acres, comprising 
lands of great diversity of soil and exposure. By a careful study 
of the requirements for the ideal growth and development of the 
countless plants, natives of every part of the world, we find them 
growing in the Nurseries in light or heavy soil, with exposure to the 
warm sun or cold north winds as the nature of the plant may de¬ 
mand so as to fit it best for transplanting to other localities, north 
or south of this latitude, or where conditions of soil or exposure 
are not ideal. 
As the little country of Andorra holds the distinction of being 
the smallest republic in the world, so the Andorra Nurseries are 
distinctive, in that from the beginning they have maintained a 
higher standard of excellence in their nursery stock than others, 
and at the present time are the largest nurseries in the country 
growing exclusively ornamental nursery stock. 
The Andorra Nurseries are situated at Chestnut Hill, Phila¬ 
delphia, the office being at the entrance of the renowned Wissa- 
hickon Drive, a short distance west of the Reading Pike (German¬ 
town Road) on the City Line. Chestnut Hill is a suburb of Phila¬ 
delphia, reached by frequent train-service on two lines from the 
city—the Pennsylvania Railroad from Broad Street Station, and 
the Philadelphia & Reading from the Reading Terminal. At all 
seasons of the year those who are interested in plants or landscape 
beauty will enjoy a visit to Andorra as much as will we, whose 
pleasure it is to show them about.
