Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Flushing Nurseries (Incorporated), 1922
We are now doing the largest landscape business on Long Island, and we are fortunate in having a man to guide the work, who has had the training, the practical experience, from the propagators bench through all stages of hardy plant culture, meaning as it does, a thorough knowledge of plant life made thorough by disappointments as well as successes, for in no branch of endeavor is the un certainty of success so well demonstrated, as it is in that elusive and fascinating study. It is not well to trust the plant planning of your grounds to those whose knowledge has probably been gained by the perusal of literature from the pens of amateurs or their perfunctory occupation in a ?ower shop.
Our stock consists of over Hardy Trees, Vines, Shrubs and 'evergreens, grown as only long experience and constant observation can grow them; thereby giving to the client, a plant root and branch that is as near perfection as nature, under scientific guidance can give.
Our Nurseries are located in about the geographical center of the greater city of New York, and seventeen minutes from Pennsylvania Terminal, Manhattan, to Flushing. Visitors are always wel come and those coming by automobile will find excellent roads. Those who come by train, take the Jamaica Trolley from either Main or Bridge Stations and get off at the North Hempstead Turnpike. Our Nurseries are just three minutes' walk from the trolley line. Those coming by way of Jamaica, take the Flushing Trolley to North Hempstead Turnpike.
We have just completed a large packing house and storage cellar, where plants are most care fully packed for shipment to all parts of the world.
