AsCemories 
Spielman’s was established in 1881 by 
Christ Spielman and John Spielman when 
they purchased the Randell Nursery of 10 
acres. [his was operated as Spielman Broth- 
ers, growers of Fruit Trees and Christmas 
Trees. The partnership was continued until 
1905 when John Spielman purchased the 
interests of Christ Spielman in the nursery. 
In 1916 the name was changed to J. Spiel- 
man & Son when Harold H. Spielman, son of 
John Spielman became interested in the com- 
pany. Landscape Gardening then began to 
come to the front together with more orna- 
mental stock. The business enjoyed a very 
happy growth during the next ten years. April 
14, 1926, John Spielman died, after an illness 
of three days, of appendicitis. The business 
was then carried on by his wife, Rose Alla- 
bach Spielman and son Harold. 
In 1928 more attention was given to Orna- 
mental stock and Flowers. Greenhouses were 
constructed and a retail Florists Shop opened 
in connection with the nursery and landscape 
business. This business continued to grow 
even in the depression years. 
August 4, 1936 Mrs. Spielman died and the 
business was taken over by Harold H. Spiel- 
man, who has continued as owner and general 
manager assisted by his sister, Leona Spiel- 
man Kay and a crew of able employees.
