THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
WM. H. MOON & CO. 
Glenwood nurseries were established about 1874 by 
Wm. H. Moon a brother of Samuel C. Moon. After estab¬ 
lishing an excellent reputation as a nurseryman and having 
a keen conception of the modern demands of landscape 
gardening, Mr. Moon sold his property to the Wm. H. Moon 
Co., and becamethe manager of thenurseries forthe corpora¬ 
tion. The landscape department is operated from the 
office in the Stephen^Girard Building, Philadelphia. Wm. 
H. Moon was for many years president of the State Horti¬ 
cultural Association of Pennsylvania, and is president of the 
Nurserymen’s Association of Pennsylvania. 
ANDORRA NURSERIES. 
The youngest of the great nurseries of this State is 
located at Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, widely known as 
the Andorra Nurseries, of which Wm. Warner Harper is 
proprietor. Mr. Harper received his first instruction in the 
nursery of Miller and Yates and in 1890 established the 
Andorra Nurseries beginning on a pretty large scale with 
the most sanguine hopes of success. He has never receded 
from the first position he had taken but rapidly extended 
his stock by propagation and importation until he covered 
his present area of 350 acres with a complete assortment of 
ornamental trees and plants. By a jiTdicious handling of 
his soils he secures nearly ideal conditions for the proper 
growth of so great a variety of native and foreign stock. 
WOODVIEW NURSERIES. 
The Woodview Nurseries of Mt. Holly Springs, Pa., were 
established in 1867 by John Peters in a section of the State 
where orchards were being established. The adaptability 
of the hills' in Adams, Franklin, and Cumberland Counties 
for fruit culture were recognized over fifty years ago and 
even now the planting of new orchards of apple and peach 
is actively going on. There are at present about 40 small 
nurseries in this section of the State but most of them are 
merely propagators growing blocks of peach or apple and 
disposing of them at wholesale, to a distributing firm like 
that of John Peters & Co., at Mt. Holly Springs in Cumber¬ 
land Co., or the nurserymen of the State of New York. 
Quite a number of the prosperous nurserymen of the West 
are men who learned their first lessons in Adams County 
nurseries. It is surprising that there are no large nurseries 
in Western Pennsylvania. The wealth being created in and 
about Pittsburg is sufficient inducement to develop an 
extensive stock of ornamental trees and shrubs.
