not little nurslings only, but shapely specimens of such size 
and training, and so planted as to make pictures in green and 
gold, in leaf and twig, which foreshadow the immediate effects 
on home grounds. It is a “different nursery,” because of the 
years of study, care and expenditure that have produced its 
ripe beauty, and it thrives because of its unmatched facilities 
and high ideals of service. 
The full collection of trees and hardy plants, great in 
variety and vast in extent, is described in the Andorra Hand¬ 
book. With such a landscape trial-ground, it has been possible 
to select subjects of excellence and vigor, sure to do well in 
many varied locations. We, therefore, heartily commend the 
few things described and illustrated on the following pages, 
by the use of which charming and varied effects can be had 
with certainty. At the same time it should be noted that 
Andorra grows and can supply any worth-while tree, shrub 
or hardy plant. 
PLANTING SUGGESTIONS 
Almost every property has some need of a heavy planting. 
For a boundary screen, a windbreak, a woodland effect, or to 
refurnish where the trees are thinning out. For these purposes 
the Tulip Tree, Red and Sugar Maples, Red, Chestnut and 
Black Oaks, together with White Pines and Hemlocks, will give 
good planting combinations, supplying trees of lasting quali¬ 
ties, rapid growth and much beauty in form and foliage. Such 
plantings are particularly needed in the sections where the 
chestnut blight is taking out one of our most popular forest 
trees, and where the need for re-foresting is imperative. 
Along the edges of all such plantings, and in the open spaces 
through the woodland, much beauty can be obtained by 
fringing the taller plantings with the dwarfer trees and strong¬ 
growing shrubs. For this purpose the following will be found 
desirable: The White and Pink-flowering Dogwoods, Sorrel 
Tree, Tataricum Maple, Japan Dogwood, Red Bud, Cornus 
Mas, the native Viburnums, Huckleberry, Shining Sumac, 
Rhododendrons, Laurels, native Azaleas, and other shrubs of 
like character. 
Most important is the transplanting, or root-pruning, for 
the purpose of preparing the trees for the purchaser who does 
the final planting. The Andorra Way does it so frequently 
and skilfully that larger and better-developed specimens can 
be satisfactorily used for immediate and mature results.
