Fifty Years of Service 
N 1898, Rosedale Nurseries were established by Mr. Samuel G. Harris of Tarrytown, 
a man of broad farm experience in addition to college and landscape training. The 
practical application of his knowledge is seen at once in his choice of location. What 
could be better than the tremendously fertile river bottom land for producing healthy, thriv- 
ing nursery stock? For the Saw Mill River was once, many eons ago, a river of size cutting 
its way down the valley. 
So Rosedale Nurseries became situated on Saw Mill River Road—where there is still 
an entrance for those wishing to avoid the Parkway. 
The site having been chose1: wisely, Mr. Harris set himself to establishing his business 
policies which have now become Rosedale traditions: clean, healthy stock, high quality 
material, personal attention to each customer and service in the way of landscape advice. 
During the ensuing 27 years, Rosedale progressed steadily, conservatively. 
It was natural, then, for Mr. Harris, advanced in years, to look about for the right person 
to carry on the business and traditions of Rosedale Nurseries. So it is with no surprise that 
we read of his announcement in the 1931 catalog of the nurseries: 
A PERSONAL LETTER FROM THE FOUNDER 
“Another prosperous year, the 32nd at Rosedale has passed, excelled in amount 
of sales by only one other, that of 1929, this notwithstanding the general depression 
in business and the severest drought in experience. 
“Thanking those whose patronage has helped to make Rosedale a success, I regret 
that it becomes necessary to forego the pleasure of continued personal services to 
my horticultural friends. 
“IT am pleased, however, that I am able to recommend to our large clientele, 
Mr. Howard C. Taylor, who has been my able assistant during the past six years. 
He is capable, efficient and dependable, and I bespeak for Rosedale Nurseries your ‘ 
best interests under the management of Mr. Taylor, whose intention is to carry 
out the same policies for which Rosedale enjoys a high reputation.” 
S. G. HARRIS 
Mr. Taylor was exceptionally weil fitted to carry on. Having spent his boyhood years on 
his family’s farm he had a background of practical knowledge of planting, cultivating and 
habits of plant growth. This was rounded out by his years of study at Alfred University while 
he learned the latest in scientific agriculture. This “know-how” coupled with best business 
practices, and a youthful vigor, he brought to Rosedale. 
So after six years of apprenticeship at Rosedale, we find Mr. Taylor the owner, with a 
thorough working knowledge guided by a steady integrity and desire to not only carry on 
the high business standards to which Rosedale’s customers had become accustomed but 
to add to the services offered.
