WHO WE ARE 
WHITE NURSERIES are the largest service 
type nursery in central New York State. 
We firmly believe we have more to offer 
you for your money in variety, service 
and quality. We have been growing our 
own stock since 1935. We are members of 
the Western New York, the New York State, 
and the American Association of Nurserymen, 
and subscribe to their code of ethics. We 
are a neighborhood nursery, able to offer 
you intelligent planning service, experi- 
enced comment on types of soil, hardiness 
and other factors aftecting plant growth 
which cannot be obtained from distant 
sources. 
WHERE WE ARE 
WHITE NURSERIES are located in the 
village of Mecklenburg, Schuyler County, 
ten miles west of Ithaca on Route 79. A 
sign will direct you. 
WHAT WE DO 
We propagate and grow all of our mate- 
Tials on some forty acres of typical 
stiff clay at an elevation of 1200 feet. 
Our plants are grown in open fields without 
benefit of protection and chemical ferti- 
lizers, We know that any plant you pur- 
chase has ruggedness grown into it through 
its survival under nursery conditions. We 
maintain experienced and responsible land- 
scape crews, available at any time to 
assist you in planting, construction of 
walks, flagstone terraces, walls, pools 
and the like. We are able to feed, prune 
or remove large trees. 
WE GUARANTEE 
All plant materials are guaranteed true to 
name, and to be live and healthy at time 
of sale. Any materials failing will be re- 
placed at one half the billed cost, except- 
ing should failure result from causes over 
which we have no control. We hold certifi- 
cate 2716 from the Bureau of Agriculture 
and markets of the State of New York, at- 
testing to the fact that our nursery is 
pest and disease free, 
DELIVERY 
During planting seasons our trucks pass 
most points within a twenty mile radius 
of Ithaca. Deliveries will be made with- 
out charge when incorporated in our re- 
gular trips. Express or Freight shipments 
will be packed without charge on orders 
in excess of $10. A nominal charge will 
be made, based on mileage, for long- 
distance deliveries. We can arrange to 
dig and deliver your order over a series 
of week-ends, should you so desire. 
CONCERNING THIS LIST 
The list following is designed to acquaint 
you with the many varieties we grow. We 
have eliminated lavish illustrations and 
descriptions, for we feel that a visit to 
the nursery where you may see the plant in 
question is much more satisfactory for all 
concerned, 
If unable to visit us, we suggest checking 
with any of L. H. Bailey's or A. C. Hottes' 
books for unbiased descriptions, The 
grounds of the nursery office are simply 
landscaped with typical specimens of many 
varieties, and you may see just how they 
would look on your own property. 
If you don't find a plant listed, it may 
be that we have discarded it from stock 
because we found it took too much pamper- 
ing and maintenance under local conditions. 
We do not, for example, grow nor list any 
of the Irish juniper types, California 
privet or Retinosporas for the simple 
reason tnat in the long run they are unsat- 
isfactory in this locality. If you don't 
find it listed, ask us why. We might be 
able to get it for you, or we may have it 
in quantities too small to list. 
SHADE HOUSE 
This year for your convenience we have a 
new 30 x 100 foot Shade House. In this 
area we have temporarily "heeled in" or 
planted in sawdust and peat moss repre- 
sentative sizes of most everything we grow, 
The plants are priced individually, and 
you may make your selection from them with- 
out the time-consuming, and often muddy, 
trip through the nursery. Perennials and 
bulbs are handled in individual flats. 
Your selections may then be loaded direct- 
ly into your car, or tagged for later de- 
livery. This system of handling assures 
you of personally-selected, freshly—dug 
plants in perfect condition without waiting 
and delay. 
"BARGAIN BASEMENT" 
A section of the Shade House is devoted to 
real bargains. These are odd lots of 
plants left over in digging or planting a 
block or field of the nursery, single "un- 
matched® plants, or plants not up to our 
usual standards. All are perfectly live 
and healthy, but are just "odds and ends® 
in odd sizes and quantity. Needless to say, 
the contents of the entire Shade House 
changes almost daily during the season, 
GARDEN STORE 
We have on display at the office all sorts 
of tools and gardening aids that we have 
proven practical in everyday use. Labels, 
Peat Moss, Sprays and 8pray Equipment, 
Lawnmowers, Hedge Shears and the like,
