CAn Invitation to Swan River- 
Those interested in trees and plants out-of-doors 
are always cordially welcome. The Swan River Nursery 
is located one mile east of Patchogue, Long Island, on 
Mortauk Highway. Our large nursery is on both sides 
of the highway and you will note a white display 
fountain on the south side of the road and a large 
Sales Building on the north side of the read. 
SALES DEPARTMENT 
We maintain a special SALES DEPARTMENT for 
the convenience of those who want a few plants in a 
hurry. Whatever you select is ready for shipment and 
can be placed in your car with no delay. We have 
here everything for the garden that is worthwhile, 
including fertilizers, peat moss, garden tools, flower 
seeds and Scott’s lawn seed. 
THE PLANTING SEASON 
Transplanting can be done successfully as soon as 
the frost is out of the ground in the spring until early 
June. Evergreens and herbaceous perennials can be 
successfully transplanted until early July. We usually 
begin to dig about March 20th. 
Evergreens may be transplanted successfully during 
August, September and October; herbaceous peren¬ 
nials during September and until the middle of Oc¬ 
tober. Deciduous trees, shrubs, vines, fruit trees 
transplant best during March, April, May, October 
and November. 
Pot grown roses can be planted all through the 
summer.
