ANDORRA NURSERIES, 
EVERGREEN TREES. 
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 particularly 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. 
Abies alba (White Spruce). Com¬ 
pact, pyramidal, and of greater sym¬ 
metry than the Norway Spruce, but 
of less vigorous growth ; beautiful 
silvery foliage. 
50, 75 cents, and $1.00 each. 
A. Alcocquiana (Alcock’s 
Spruce). Pyramidal habit of 
growth ; foliage deep green, with 
silvery tinge beneath; rare and 
showy. $2.50 each. 
A. balsamea (Balsam or Balm of 
Gilead Fir). A slender, pyramidal
