ANDORRA NURSERIES, 
Populus alba (Abele or White Poplar). The Poplars are all large, rapid¬ 
growing trees, and will thrive in any soil. The leaves are in slender foot-stalks and 
easily stirred by the wind, when the white underside is shown and produces a fine effect. 
50 and 75 cents each. 
P. aurea Van Geertii (Van Geert’s New Golden Poplar). Fine, distinct yel¬ 
low foliage, retaining color throughout the season. 50 cents to $1.00 each. 
P. Carolina (Carolina Poplar). A rapid growing and valuable street tree. Leaves 
large, glossy, deep green. 50 cents to $1.00 each. 
P. fastigata or dilatata (Lombardy Poplar). The well-known pyramidal Italian 
variety ; upright and of wonderfully rapid growth. 50 cents to $1.00 each. 
Prunus padus (European Bird Cherry). Small, and grows rapidly. Long branches 
of fragrant white flowers in May ; fruit like black currants. 50 cents each. 
Prunus Pissardii (Purple-leaved Plum). One of the most beautiful hardy trees 
or shrubs, as its foliage is an ornament to any lawn from spring until late fall. 
During May it is covered with blush pink blossoms, which harmonize exquisitely with 
the pinkish purple foliage of early spring. The color—not being affected by the hot 
sun—deepens during the summer months. The foliage with these unusual colors is 
retained late in November. 75 cents and $1.00 each. 
PTELIA (HOP TREE). Very choice lawn trees of small size, with handsome 
deep green, glossy trifoliate leaves, which, if bruised, exhale a pleasant, hop-like odor. This 
odor is especially noticeable in the seeds, which are borne in dense, showy clusters in late 
summer. They are of easiest culture in any soil. The Golden variety is a new introduc¬ 
tion of the first merit. 
Ptelia trifoliata. Showy when used singly, and admirable for grouping. 50 cents each. 
P. trifoliata var. aurea (Golden Hop Tree). One of the showiest golden- 
foliaged trees in cultivation. The peculiar glossy surface of the foliage gives an 
appearance that the leaves have been varnished. It is one of if not the highest- 
colored golden-foliaged hardy plants, retaining its color all summer. 75 cents, each. 
PYRUS (SORBUS) (MOUNTAIN ASH). A class of showy, medium-sized 
trees, of great beauty of foliage and fruit, adapted to all soils and situations. This tree 
never requires pruning, takes up but little room, and is especially valuable for small places. 
Pyrus Americana (American Mountain Ash). Dark green compound foliage, 
and showy clusters of bright red berries. 50 cents to $1.00 each. 
P. aucuparia (European Mountain Ash). A small, pretty tree, with fine pinnate 
foliage; it bears numerous clusters of bright red berries, which are very conspicuous 
and handsome from midsummer till frost. 50 cents to $1.00 each. 
P. var. quercifolia (Oak-leaved Mountain Ash). A hardy tree of fine, pyramidal 
habit. Foliage deeply lobed, bright green above and downy beneath. One of the finest 
lawn trees. 50 cents to $1.00 each. 
P. malus Parkmanii (Parkman’s Crab Apple). A new double flowering crab- 
apple from Japan, which blooms very profusely. The flower buds are long and 
tapering, of a rich carmine color, resembling the bud of the tea rose Papa Gontier in 
form and color, and dangle very gracefully on long, slender stems. One of the most 
beautiful recent introductions among flowering trees. $1.50 each. 
QUERCUS (OAK). No tree is more majestic and picturesque than a grand old 
Oak, but one must not think that the generation who plant Oaks cannot enjoy their beauty, 
for although their growth is at first slow, if planted in good soil they will outgrow most 
other trees. They are all valuable park and lawn trees, and the Scarlet, White, and Pin 
Oaks make excellent street shade trees.
