A COMPLETE HORTICULTURAL AND LANDSCAPE SERVICE AT 
KELSEY-HIGHLANDS NURSERY 
Customers of Harlan P. Kelsey, Inc. will find our various 
branches of service of real value thruout the year. Some special 
features of this service are described below. 
1. RENOVATION OF GARDENS AND PLANTATIONS. Overgrown or run down 
gardens can often be improved immeasurably by readjustment, pruning, ferti¬ 
lization, the addition of a few plants, etc. Let us help you make your garden 
more interesting and enjoyable. 
2. LANDSCAPE SERVICE. Harlan P. Kelsey, Inc. offers a skilled service devoted 
to the creation of finer landscapes. After a careful study of each individual 
problem we recommend a development which will fit the particular location so 
as to combine beauty and convenience with economy of construction and main¬ 
tenance. Our background of sound designing and horticultural experience 
assures such results. No charge is ordinarily made for a preliminary confer¬ 
ence at our office, or on the grounds where most effective results are ordinarily 
obtained. If however considerable time or distance is involved a minimum 
charge is made to cover costs. 
3. HEDGES, WINDBREAKS AND SCREENS. The growing of fine material for ever¬ 
green and deciduous hedges, windbreaks and screens is a specialty at 
Kelsey-Highlands Nursery. For protection from harsh winds, for masking un¬ 
sightly views and to insure privacy the larger screens are often invaluable. 
Lower hedges and borders are pleasing essentials in many garden designs. 
We will gladly submit recommendations and quotations for individual prob¬ 
lems. A far wider list is available for these uses than is generally supposed. 
For example, few realize that the native White Pine, which in our woods grows 
to over 100 feet in height, responds readily to pruning and will make if desired 
a permanent low hedge or border as small as 1 foot in height or a tall impene¬ 
trable windbreak of any reasonable dimensions. 
4. MOVING LARGE SPECIMEN TREES. Our tree-moving equipment is especially 
designed for safely transplanting large Evergreens or Shade Trees up to almost 
1 foot in diameter. We have many handsome specimens of Pine, Hemlock, 
Spruce, Fir and Shade Trees in wide variety from 10 to 30 feet in height. These 
are moved with large balls with little disturbance to the root systems, largely 
eliminating risks. For transplanting large' trees on private estates our charge 
for tree-moving machine and two operators is $35.00 per day; additional labor 
or materials at our usual rates. 
5. PLANTINGS FOR BIRDS. Birds add beauty and song to the garden, and are of 
greatest value in curbing insect damage. Every garden should include plants 
that provide natural bird food and cover. We know what these plants are and 
will gladly help you plan their proper use. Birds are a constant joy and enter¬ 
tainment in the garden—a bird-feeding station in a corner of your garden dedi¬ 
cated to bird life will be a continuing delight.
