KELSEY’S HORTICULTURAL 
AND LANDSCAPE SERVICE 
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 readjust¬ 
ment, pruning, fertilization, the addition of a few plants, etc. Let 11 s 
help you make your garden more interesting and enjoyable. 
2. LANDSCAPE SERVICE. Harlan P. Kelsey, Inc. offers a skilled serv¬ 
ice 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 econ¬ 
omy of construction and maintenance. Our background of sound de¬ 
signing and horticultural experience assures such results. No charge is 
ordinarily made for a preliminary conference at our office, or on the 
grounds where most effective results are obtained. If 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 evergreen and deciduous hedges, windbreaks and screens is 
a specialty at Kelsey-Highlands Nursery. For protection from harsh 
winds, for masking unsightly views and to insure privaci^ the larger 
screens are often invaluable. Lower hedges and borders are pleasing es¬ 
sentials in many garden designs. We will gladly submit recommenda¬ 
tions and quotations for individual problems. A far wider list is avail¬ 
able for these uses than is generally supposed. 
4. COLLECTED NATIVE PLANTS. Roadsides, woodlands, banks, 
borders and the like are delightfully and permanently improved by a 
free use of our choice and beautiful native plants and flowers, Our list 
of hardy American bulbs, ferns, herbaceous perennials and low ground- 
cover shrubs is extensive. Most of these can be supplied in strong cut 
“sods” or as individual clumps or plants. We supply aiw quantity and 
will gladly make up special carload prices when desired. See pages 
53-55 for further information. 
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 entertainment in the garden—a bird-feeding station in 
a corner of your garden dedicated to bird life will be a continuing de¬ 
light. 
6. RARE AND UNUSUAL PLANTS. For half a century Kelsey-High¬ 
lands Nursery has been noted for its rare and new plants. Among the 
introductions of Harlan P. Kelsey have been some of America’s choicest
