GUARANTEE—CLAIMS 

Alameda Wholesale Nursery, Inc. guarantees all plant 

material to be true to name and sold in good condition. Any 

claims (as to condition or count) must be made immediately 

upon receipt. Once accepted in good condition, we cannot be 

responsible for improper handling, planting, maintenance or 

damage by the elements. If any stock proves otherwise, we 

will not be liable for an amount greater than the original 

purchase price. No other guarantee is expressed or implied. 

PRICING 

We make every effort to stand behind the prices in this 

catalog. However, due to the nature of our business and the 

quest to provide our customers with the highest quality 

products, published prices are subject to change without 

notice. 


NURSERY INFORMATION—BALL CART RENTAL 

RESTOCKING CHARGE 

We charge a 10% restocking charge for accepted returns. 

Order carefully—it costs us time and money to handle 

plants. There is no restocking charge for plants or landscape 

supplies rejected at time of delivery. 

WILL CALL ORDERS 

During the spring rush from March through June, we need 

24-hours notice to pull your order efficiently. Only container 

items are pulled, but we will tag your B & B and container 

trees. Please pick up your order in a timely fashion. It’s wonderful 

to load & go! 

CONTAINER-RECYCLING PROGRAM 

This year we are giving credit toward your account or 

purchase. We reserve the right to suspend the recycling program 

at any time. 

BALL CART RENTAL 

We have two sizes of ball carts (1000# & 1600# capacity) 

available for just __ a day to place your B & B trees. This is 

easier on your trees and on your crew. This also gives you a 

chance to try one before purchasing. 

TAGGING TREES 

To allow personalized selection for pick-up or deliveries, 

trees can be “tagged” for up to 30 days. We will make every 

attempt to hold these plants, but can’t guarantee the tags 

won’t be removed or the items sold. If your customers prefer 

to choose the stock, we need you to accompany them. After 

30 days, plant material will become available for sale and 

the tags removed. 

We have included some of our favorite 

‘life sayings’ at the bottom of most of our 

pages—if you have a favorite one to add; 

please send it to us. 

“The world is mud-luscious and puddle wonderful.” 

– e.e. cummings

AJUGA—ANEMONE 

O U R W I D E W O R L D O F 

Perennials, Ferns, Grasses, 

Groundcovers and Vines 

Flats contain 32 2¼" square pots. Groundcover spacing is 

normally 6-12" apart for 2¼" pots and 10-18" for #1 pots, 

depending on growth rate. To calculate the number of plants 

you’ll need, multiply the number of square feet by the number 

of plants required per square foot using the table below: 

Distance Apart Plants /Sq. Ft. 

6 inches .....................................................4 plants 

8 inches ................................................2.25 plants 

10 inches ..............................................1.77 plants 

12 inches.....................................................1 plant 

18 inches ............................................0.444 plants 

Alameda is switching to 32 cell flats; we will still have some 25 

cell flats in spring. We hope this does not cause too much trouble.

HYDRANGEA, ENDLESS SUMMER H. macrophylla ‘Bailmer’ 

The first blue hydrangea that blooms on both new and old 

wood: It can die back to the ground and still have flowers! 

Blossoms grow to 8" and are clear pink in alkaline soil, blue 

in acidic soil. If deadheaded, it will bloom from June to frost. 

Wow, what a plant! Zone 4.

HYDRANGEA, EUGHEN HAHN 

Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Eughen Hahn’ 

This hydrangea is so rare and unique that when I googled it, 

there was only 1 reference on the internet and it was in 

French! What I know is that it’s Zone 4, rebloomer on new 

and old canes. 6” round dark red flowers fading to pink on 

stout stocks. Very dense lush green leaves. The first year, I 

received 50 and no one knew I had them. They were kind of 

hidden away and I sold most of them in a month (August). 

They sold themselves.

HYDRANGEA, INCREDIBALL 

Hydrangea arborescens ‘Abetwo’ 

Yes we have Incrediballs, an approved Annabelle with massive 

12'' blooms. Each flower is 4 times the size as one 

Annabella bloom. A heavy blooomer from summer to fall on 

strong stocks that prevent flopping. They start out light 

green turning creamy white in summer; in fall they turn 

green again. Blooms on both old and new wood.

HYDRANGEA, LIMELIGHT H. paniculata ‘Limelight’

HYDRANGEA 

HYDRANGEA, LITTLE LIME 


H. paniculata ‘Jane’ 

Freshly squeezed lime juice is the key ingredient for a good 

margarita and a ‘Little Lime’ hydrangea is the key ingredient 

for a great landscape. The dwarf form of ‘Limelight’ has 

the same great flowers, but is a third the size of the original. 

Blooming on new wood, the soft lime green flowers mature 

to pink and burgundy in the fall. Unlike ‘Endless Summer’, 

soil pH does not affect bloom color.

HYDRANGEA, PINKY WINKY H. paniculata ‘DVPinky’ 

Despite the name, this hydrangea is quite amazing. It has 

16” long flowers that start out white but turn a rich pink 

while the tips continue to push white florets. The stocks are 

strong, not allowing the large flowers to droop. Dark green 

foliage accents the blooms. Use as a specimen or as a jaw 

dropping flowering hedge.

PWH (CA) #2 

HYDRANGEA, QUICK FIRE Hydrangea paniculata ‘Bulk’ 

8” conical white flowers turn to rich deep pink. First to

strawberry, held upright on red stems. They emerge creamy 

white in mid summer, change to pink and finally to strawberry 

red. New blooms give the plant a multicolored effect in 

late summer and early fall.

Pollination of Fruit Trees 

Apples—Overall, apple trees need another variety to be 

productive. That variety needs to be blooming at the 

same time and be within a ¼ mile (the distance a bee 

can fly) of the apple tree. Generally speaking, in the 

Denver Metro area there are enough of both apple and 

crabapple trees that pollination is not usually a problem. 

But, if you want to be safe, plant two varieties 

within 100' of each other. 

Apricot—Use two varieties, or in most cases, Nanking 

Cherry will do the job. 

Sweet Cherries—Use two varieties, sour cherries will 

work as a pollinator. 

Sour Cherries—Self-fertile. 

Peaches—Self-fertile. 

Pears—Most need another variety for better yield. 

Ornamental Pears work as well. 

Plums—Most need two varieties. American plum or 

Western sand cherry will pollinate as well. 

APPLE, HONEYCRISP (Semi-Dwarf) Malus ‘Honeycrisp’ 

Bite into this apple and the juice will run down your arm. In 

the Midwest, where it is very popular, a bushel of

TREE WATERING GUIDELINES 

We are frequently asked “How much water does a tree need?” 

so we hope the following information is helpful to you and your 

customers. Soil textures, ranging from sand to heavy clay, 

weather conditions and water application methods all factor in 

to determining tree water requirements. Generally, our trees 

need a minimum of 3 ½ - 5 gallons of water per week to survive 

during the growing season. 

The best test of soil moisture is pull back the mulch and geotextile; 

use a soil knife carefully dig down about 6” deep to ascertain 

the moisture content. A soil probe can also be used to obtain 

a deeper core sample at the edge of the root ball. If the soil does 

not form a ball when squeezed in you hand, it needs water. If it 

makes a moist ball easily, hold off on watering. The soil should 

resemble a nice chocolate brownie texture when the soil has 

adequate moisture. It is important to remember that plant roots 

need oxygen as well as water; over watering drives air out of the 

soil causing the plant to stress. Over watering is usually caused 

by frequency, not the quantity, of water. It is always best to 

water less frequently for longer periods of time. It is beneficial 

to run the irrigation system in two consecutive cycles with a 

short rest in between; this practice allows the water to soak into 

the soil deeper and efficiently. 

During periods of drought and 

water restrictions: 

A general rule is to use approximately 10 gallons of water per 

inch of trunk diameter. To calculate amount of water per tree, 

measure trunk at knee height: 

Tree Diameter x 5 minutes= Total Watering Time 

A standard garden hose at medium pressure delivers 10 gallons 

of water in 5 minutes. For example, a 4” diameter tree 

should receive 40 gallons of water – multiply by 5 minutes to 

equal total watering time of 20 minutes. Deep watering to a 

depth of 12 inches below soil surface and saturate the soil within 

the drip line of the branches to disperse water deeply to the 

roots. For evergreens, water 3-5 feet beyond the drip line on all 

sides. 

Fall and winter watering of all plants is extremely important! 

Tree roots continue to grow throughout the winter and need 

moisture to survive. Our winters are often cold, dry and windy 

causing soil to dry out quickly and plants experience drought 

stress. Water all plants one or two times per month October 

through March on a day when outdoor temperatures are above 

40˚ F and the ground is not frozen. Use the same amount of 

water as outlined above. Your trees and plants will greatly 

appreciate this extra attention and reward you in the spring 

with healthy growth and endless beauty.

HISTORY 

The history of 

ALAMEDA WHOLESALE 

Stanley Brown Sr., our firm’s founder, started working for 

Marshall Nurseries in Arlington, Nebraska in 1925 at the 

age of 14. After working up to a landscape foreman he had 

the responsibility of planting the designs of Gloria Rapp, who had 

started her studies at Doane College in Nebraska, and later graduated 

from Iowa State at Ames with a degree in Landscape 

Architecture. Stan and Gloria were married November 2, 1940, 

and moved to Denver the following month, where they would 

begin work on the lawns and landscaping for the Lincoln Park 

Housing Project, and later start a branch of Marshall Nurseries 

in the spring of 1941. 

In 1944 Stan left Marshall's and bought one square block at 

the edge of town on a beaten gravel road (now known as West 

Alameda Avenue and Canosa Court), and with the help of a partner, 

Gilbert Pike, Stan Brown Sr. opened a retail nursery and 

garden center. The partnership ended after a year, but the tiny 

business continued to grow and prosper, with considerable credit 

going to the inventiveness, creativity, and introduction of new 

concepts to Denver such as packaged peat moss, African Violet 

soil, and a liquid fertilizer truck for residential turf (called 

“Green Rain,” it proved to be 30 years too soon). In 1950 Mount 

Arbor Nursery sent a double order of Paul Scarlet roses, so Stan 

bought tar-paper pots from Hasler Nursery in Kansas City, and 

was the first nursery in the state to begin container-grown roses, 

and later container-grown trees and shrubs in 5-gallon egg cans 

collected from local bakeries. 

In 1957 a farm at West Dartmouth Avenue and South Zuni 

Street was purchased to be the growing field for “Denver’s 

Garden Center” as it was then advertised. In 1962 the property 

on West Alameda was sold and the garden center and nursery 

were moved to 3160 S. Zuni St. After the flood of 1965 the retail 

end of our business was dropped in order to concentrate on wholesaling. 

The drop in volume was significant, but the nursery struggled 

through with the idea that there was enough business in 

supplying plants to landscapers and garden centers. 

Stan Brown Jr. joined the business after leaving Colorado 

State University in 1964 to work full time, and later was 

joined by his brother Arnold after he left IBM in 1969. 

The two sons worked their way up through the nursery and eventually 

purchased the business from their father in 1975. Stan Sr., 

Stan Jr. and Steve have served as presidents of the Colorado 

Nurserymen’s Association, and Stan Jr. has served as Denver 

Chapter president and state board president of the Associated 

Landscape Contractors of Colorado. 

In 1992 Stan Brown Sr. passed away. In 1993 the nursery 

moved to 1950 W. Dartmouth Ave., doubling the amount of land 

available. 

Many valuable employees have joined us over the 

years including: 

� Alan Clark - Started in 1977. 

Sales, Evergreen/Broadleaf Container Manager 

� Ron Brown - Started in 1978. 

Head Mechanic, Perennial Manager 

� Dave Hall - Started in 1982. 

Yard Sales Manager, B & B Field Manager 

� Scott Brown - Started in 1990. Inventory Manager 

� Steve Brown -Started in 1995. Delivered Sales 

In 2003 Arnold sold his shares back to the company. In 2004 

Alan, Ron, Steve, Scott and Dave came on the Board of Directors 

and became partners with Stan. 

In more than 65 years of quality business and service Alameda 

Wholesale Nursery has evolved from a small “growing nursery” 

to one of the oldest and largest wholesale nurseries in Colorado.
