Poughkeepsie Nursery Company 
Introduction 
In presenting this new catalog we desire to thank 
our many customers for their continued patronage 
which has enabled us to carry on through these try¬ 
ing days. While we, on our part, have maintained 
the quality of our products and our service, we 
know that without the marked goodwill and friend¬ 
liness of our clientele, we would not have weathered 
the storm. . 
This catalog contains not a complete list of our 
offerings, but a selection of the best trees and plants, 
old and new. Be assured that we have on hand all 
those things that are required for the successful 
home landscape and the making of fine gardens. 
A separate price list of Plants for Rock Gardens 
may be had for the asking. Those who so wish may 
obtain, upon remittance of 20^ in postage, a copy 
of our Illustrated Handbook, “In and About the 
Rock Garden.” 
Landscape Service Those of our patrons who 
desire not merely to purchase 
trees or plants, but to be advised about the arrange¬ 
ment of plantings, or the making of gardens, are 
invited to avail themselves freely of our landscape 
advisory service. 
The success of plantings and of gardens is measured 
not only in terms of value received in trees and 
plants, but of the beauty of the scene and the pleas¬ 
ure found in it. Skilled advice, therefore, is of the 
greatest importance,—particularly to the inexper¬ 
ienced amateur. 
Whatever type or degree of service is required,— 
please feel at liberty to write or ’phone to us,—or 
better still, to stop at the nursery, explaining what 
kind of assistance is wanted. The number is Pough¬ 
keepsie 663. 
Simple assistance is rendered free of charge to those 
who use our stock. When the service required is 
more extensive, or the distance considerable, a small 
charge is made, which may be credited to the re¬ 
sulting order, if its size warrants it. 
Unless one is familiar with matters of planting, it 
will surely pay to engage our expert advice before 
spending money for trees and plants. 
Planting Service While it is not always pos¬ 
sible, in the busy seasons, to 
send planters with every order, we shall endeavor, 
so far as it is desired, and so far as possible, to fur¬ 
nish competent planting help or foremen’s service.
