KELSEY’S HORTICULTURAL AND 
LANUSCAPE SERVICE 
Customers of Harlan P. Kelsey, Ine. will find our various 
branches of service of real value throughout the year. 
Some special features of this service are described below. 
Renovation of Gardens and Plantations. Overgrown or run down gar- 
dens can often be improved immeasureably by readjustment, pruning, 
fertilization, the addition of a few plants, etc. Let us help you make 
your garden more interesting and enjoyable. 
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 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 problems. A far wider list is available 
for these uses than is generally supposed. See Page 40 for descrip- 
tions and prices of Kelsey’s Ready-made Evergreen Hedges. 
Moving Large Specimen Trees. Our tree moving equipment is especially 
designed for safely transplanting large Evergreens or Shade Trees 
up to 1 foot in diameter. We have 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 dis- 
turbances to the root systems, largely eliminating risks. See page 35. 
Plantings for Birds. Birds add beauty and song to the gardens, 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 delight. See Page 438 for Berry Bearing Plants. 
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 se as to combine beauty and convenience with 
economy of construction and maintenance. Our background of sound 
designing and horticultural experience assures such results. 
We are particularly interested in the small home grounds. Consult us 
freely whether your problem is large or small. No charge is ordinarily 
made for a preliminary conference 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.
