Meanwhile other orders, on which material has not been 
personally selected by the customer, are receiving the care- 
ful attention of Rosedale’s popular Superintendent, Bill 
Herman. Bill, with a lifetime of experience and knowledge 
of plants and nursery operations, is pointing out to the

Behind-the-scenes at Rosedale 
EVERYONE enjoys a trip behind-the-scenes to see just how things are done and this 
seems to be particularly true of people who come to the nurseries. So through the 
medium of these pages we hope to give you a little ‘“‘inside’’ picture. 
Let us start in the office where your inquiries by telephone and by mail—and many in 
It is a revelation to most newcomers to find a modernly 
equipped office but since this is the clearing house for all orders, it is necessary. 
Office management, customer contact, advertising, billing and bookkeeping are in 
the capable hands of Mrs. Marie M. Enberg, Office Manager. A college graduate and 
thoroughly experienced, keeping the organization smoothly and efficiently operating 
is her responsibility. 
On our communication system from the office, let us ask Frank Drab, our chief sales- 
man in the Sales Shed, to show you the plants you have come to see. And those questions 
you have—Mr. Drab, a graduate of Long Island Agricultural and Technical Institute, 
having specialized in the nursery field, can answer them and suggest a plant to fill the 
spot you have in mind. Not only suggest but show you the plants and you may select the 
the very tree you want. Right then and there your name is written on a weather-proof 
tag which is put on your tree. 
string is then used to tie up the branches, preventing dam- 
age by breaking. So you are assured of well-chosen 
material whether you are present to select or not. 
After selecting the plant material the customer and the 
salesman return to the Sales Shed to write up the order and 
choose the appropriate fertilizers for the plants selected. 

Customer and Salesman return to Shed to write 
order and select proper fertilizer.
