I am looking for a history of the Andorra Nursery in Philadelphia.

Do you have any information about this Nursery?

Answer

According to the Morris Arboretum "the Andorra Nursery was once the largest and most important nursery on the east coast. It reigned not only by virtue of its size, but also for the numerous plants it introduced to American horticulture." (Morris Arboretum Bulletin, vol. 25(2) 1974: 19).

A history of this nursery appeared in the same issue of the Bulletin in an article by Dr. John C. Swartley.

Aricle is attached.
