n the Nursery Field 
IRST, the customers’ need for more help in landscaping—whether a large or small home— 
was recognized. In order to provide the right plants for the right places, it was necessary to 
grow more varieties and in a larger range of sizes. This was accomplished by expanding 
the acreage of the nurseries so as to meet the growing needs of the customers. In this way, 
Rosedale not only supplies the best of the old varieties, but at the same time, offers the best in 
new plant material. It was not long before the landscaping work under Mr. Taylor’s personal 
supervision became so heavy that he found it necessary to establish a separate 
Landscape Department, headed by a person with special training and aptitude in 
Landscape Design. 
The development of the Saw Mill River Parkway provided a new route to the nurseries 
and a new entrance—now our main entrance—was opened for easy access. 
Rosedale’s improved nursery stock, skilled nursery personnel and additional services not 
only benefitted our customers but soon made its influence felt in raising the caliber of nursery 
business generally. This took concrete form in promoting the organization of local nursery 
owners into an association for the interchange of ideas to advance high ethical standards of es - Spuaeie pees

customers. This local association is known as
