KELSEY NURSERY SERVICE 
1. We furnish high quality stock. Kelsey Nursery 
stock is grown where it grows best; always with re- 
gard to shipping convenience. Of over twenty thousand 
acres of stock we select the nearest nursery growing the 
material of the quality and grade you want. 
2. We furnish our stock at the lowest prices made 
possible by mass production. Prices of nursery stock 
vary greatly. One nursery grows stock on land worth, 
say, $4,000 per acre. The stock is no better than at a 
nearby nursery where land is worth $400 per acre. We 
are, therefore, enabled to sell excellent stock at very 
low prices. 
3. We are an entirely responsible source of 
supply. Established 65 Years ago, in 1878, we still 
have among our customers many who have been patrons 
for forty years or more. In all our dealings we are always 
willing to make things right on any errors or just causes 
for complaint.

UPRIGHT HARDY YEW HEDGE 
(Taxus cuspidata capitata) 
TREE FORM Hardy Yew (Taxus Cuspidata) is undoubtedly 
the best hedge plant for north-eastern America. It responds to 
shearing with a dense even textured surface. It grows fairly rapidly 
the first few years and then slows down to a yearly growth which 
permits it to be kept easily around 6 to 8 feet high and 3 to 4 feet 
wide.
