To Assist Our Customers 
THE nurseries open at 7:30 in the morning. This enables us to 
have available digging crews to undertake and complete in one 
day even fairly large landscape jobs. This brings to a minimum the 
labor charges; less riding time is involved; plants are benefitted 
by transplanting the day after digging and only one day need be 
set aside by the home owner if he desires to be present. However, 
with the careful supervision of our planting foremen who follow 
closely the well-drawn, specific plans of the landscape architect, it 
is not even necessary for you to be present at the time of planting, 
although many people do enjoy watching the transformation. 
An added feature of our early morning start is to have available 
sufficient sales personnel even at 7:30 to enable people to make 
purchases and arrange for deliveries while on their way to work in 
the morning. Here at the nurseries—as in other fields—the early 
shopper avoids the crowds and waiting to be served. 


Early morning assignment of the day’s work 
by Supt. of the Nurseries, Bill Herman. 
Adequate transportation equipment is necessary 
for efficient service. 

In order to extend our sales service as long as possible during 
the day, Rosedale is open until 6:00 p.m. each day except Sunday 
so that it is convenient for those driving to the coun- 
try in the late afternoon to stop at the nurseries and 
select personally the plants desired—and many can 
be taken along in the car. During the Spring planting 
season the nurseries are open from 9:00 a.m. to 
5:00 p.m. on Sunday. 
To facilitate getting out orders and planting jobs 
promptly, and give you better service, Rosedale’s 
staff has been increased over the years, nursery 
roads have been improved, buildings renovated and 
a garage built complete with shop. From having one 
truck available for delivery when Mr. Taylor came 
to the nurseries, five trucks are now required to serve 
adequately. This has enabled us to extend our free, 
prompt delivery service beyond Westchester County.

During the Spring season coming to the nursery early 
in the day will help us give you faster service.
