NURSERY INFORMATION—BALL CART RENTAL<br />

RESTOCKING CHARGE<br />

We charge a 10% restocking charge for accepted returns.<br />

Order carefully—it costs us time and money to handle<br />

plants. There is no restocking charge for plants or landscape<br />

supplies rejected at time of delivery.<br />

WILL CALL ORDERS<br />

During the spring rush from March through June, we need<br />

24-hours notice to pull your order efficiently. Only container<br />

items are pulled, but we will tag your B & B and container<br />

trees. Please pick up your order in a timely fashion. It’s wonderful<br />

to load & go!<br />

CONTAINER-RECYCLING PROGRAM<br />

This year we are giving credit toward your account or<br />

purchase. We reserve the right to suspend the recycling program<br />

at any time.<br />

BALL CART RENTAL<br />

We have two sizes of ball carts (1000# & 1600# capacity)<br />

available for just __ a day to place your B & B trees. This is<br />

easier on your trees and on your crew. This also gives you a<br />

chance to try one before purchasing.<br />

TAGGING TREES<br />

To allow personalized selection for pick-up or deliveries,<br />

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

attempt to hold these plants, but can’t guarantee the tags<br />

won’t be removed or the items sold. If your customers prefer<br />

to choose the stock, we need you to accompany them. After<br />

30 days, plant material will become available for sale and<br />

the tags removed.<br />

We have included some of our favorite<br />

‘life sayings’ at the bottom of most of our<br />

pages—if you have a favorite one to add;<br />

please send it to us.<br />

“The world is mud-luscious and puddle wonderful.”<br />

– e.e. cummings<br />

FRUIT TREES<br />

NOTE: ADDITIONAL SIZES ARE ON PAGES 156-162<br />

Pollination of Fruit Trees<br />

Apples—Overall, apple trees need another variety to be<br />

productive. That variety needs to be blooming at the<br />

same time and be within a ¼ mile (the distance a bee<br />

can fly) of the apple tree. Generally speaking, in the<br />

Denver Metro area there are enough of both apple and<br />

crabapple trees that pollination is not usually a problem.<br />

But, if you want to be safe, plant two varieties<br />

within 100' of each other.<br />

Apricot—Use two varieties, or in most cases, Nanking<br />

Cherry will do the job.<br />

Sweet Cherries—Use two varieties, sour cherries will<br />

work as a pollinator.<br />

Sour Cherries—Self-fertile.<br />

Peaches—Self-fertile.<br />

Pears—Most need another variety for better yield.<br />

Ornamental Pears work as well.<br />

Plums—Most need two varieties. American plum or<br />

Western sand cherry will pollinate as well.<br />

APPLE, HONEYCRISP (Semi-Dwarf) Malus ‘Honeycrisp’<br />

Bite into this apple and the juice will run down your arm. In<br />

TREE WATERING GUIDELINES<br />

We are frequently asked “How much water does a tree need?”<br />

so we hope the following information is helpful to you and your<br />

customers. Soil textures, ranging from sand to heavy clay,<br />

weather conditions and water application methods all factor in<br />

to determining tree water requirements. Generally, our trees<br />

need a minimum of 3 ½ - 5 gallons of water per week to survive<br />

during the growing season.<br />

The best test of soil moisture is pull back the mulch and geotextile;<br />

use a soil knife carefully dig down about 6” deep to ascertain<br />

the moisture content. A soil probe can also be used to obtain<br />

a deeper core sample at the edge of the root ball. If the soil does<br />

not form a ball when squeezed in you hand, it needs water. If it<br />

makes a moist ball easily, hold off on watering. The soil should<br />

resemble a nice chocolate brownie texture when the soil has<br />

adequate moisture. It is important to remember that plant roots<br />

need oxygen as well as water; over watering drives air out of the<br />

soil causing the plant to stress. Over watering is usually caused<br />

by frequency, not the quantity, of water. It is always best to<br />

water less frequently for longer periods of time. It is beneficial<br />

to run the irrigation system in two consecutive cycles with a<br />

short rest in between; this practice allows the water to soak into<br />

the soil deeper and efficiently.<br />

During periods of drought and<br />

water restrictions:<br />

A general rule is to use approximately 10 gallons of water per<br />

inch of trunk diameter. To calculate amount of water per tree,<br />

measure trunk at knee height:<br />

Tree Diameter x 5 minutes= Total Watering Time<br />

A standard garden hose at medium pressure delivers 10 gallons<br />

of water in 5 minutes. For example, a 4” diameter tree<br />

should receive 40 gallons of water – multiply by 5 minutes to<br />

equal total watering time of 20 minutes. Deep watering to a<br />

depth of 12 inches below soil surface and saturate the soil within<br />

the drip line of the branches to disperse water deeply to the<br />

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

sides.<br />

Fall and winter watering of all plants is extremely important!<br />

Tree roots continue to grow throughout the winter and need<br />

moisture to survive. Our winters are often cold, dry and windy<br />

causing soil to dry out quickly and plants experience drought<br />

stress. Water all plants one or two times per month October<br />

through March on a day when outdoor temperatures are above<br />

40˚ F and the ground is not frozen. Use the same amount of<br />

water as outlined above. Your trees and plants will greatly<br />

appreciate this extra attention and reward you in the spring<br />

with healthy growth and endless beauty.<br />

Marshall Nurseries in Arlington, Nebraska in 1925 at the<br />

age of 14. After working up to a landscape foreman he had<br />

the responsibility of planting the designs of Gloria Rapp, who had<br />

started her studies at Doane College in Nebraska, and later graduated<br />

from Iowa State at Ames with a degree in Landscape<br />

Architecture. Stan and Gloria were married November 2, 1940,<br />

and moved to Denver the following month, where they would<br />

begin work on the lawns and landscaping for the Lincoln Park<br />

Housing Project, and later start a branch of Marshall Nurseries<br />

in the spring of 1941.<br />

In 1944 Stan left Marshall's and bought one square block at<br />

the edge of town on a beaten gravel road (now known as West<br />

<strong>Alameda</strong> Avenue and Canosa Court), and with the help of a partner,<br />

Gilbert Pike, Stan Brown Sr. opened a retail nursery and<br />

garden center. The partnership ended after a year, but the tiny<br />

business continued to grow and prosper, with considerable credit<br />

going to the inventiveness, creativity, and introduction of new<br />

concepts to Denver such as packaged peat moss, African Violet<br />

soil, and a liquid fertilizer truck for residential turf (called<br />

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

Arbor <strong>Nursery</strong> sent a double order of Paul Scarlet roses, so Stan<br />

bought tar-paper pots from Hasler <strong>Nursery</strong> in Kansas City, and<br />

was the first nursery in the state to begin container-grown roses,<br />

and later container-grown trees and shrubs in 5-gallon egg cans<br />

collected from local bakeries.<br />

In 1957 a farm at West Dartmouth Avenue and South Zuni<br />

Street was purchased to be the growing field for “Denver’s<br />

Garden Center” as it was then advertised. In 1962 the property<br />

on West <strong>Alameda</strong> was sold and the garden center and nursery<br />

were moved to 3160 S. Zuni St. After the flood of 1965 the retail<br />

end of our business was dropped in order to concentrate on wholesaling.<br />

The drop in volume was significant, but the nursery struggled<br />

through with the idea that there was enough business in<br />

supplying plants to landscapers and garden centers.<br />

Stan Brown Jr. joined the business after leaving Colorado<br />

State University in 1964 to work full time, and later was<br />

joined by his brother Arnold after he left IBM in 1969.<br />

The two sons worked their way up through the nursery and eventually<br />

purchased the business from their father in 1975. Stan Sr.,<br />

Stan Jr. and Steve have served as presidents of the Colorado<br />

<strong>Nursery</strong>men’s Association, and Stan Jr. has served as Denver<br />

Chapter president and state board president of the Associated<br />

Landscape Contractors of Colorado.<br />

In 1992 Stan Brown Sr. passed away. In 1993 the nursery<br />

moved to 1950 W. Dartmouth Ave., doubling the amount of land<br />

available.<br />

Many valuable employees have joined us over the<br />

years including:<br />

� Alan Clark - Started in 1977.<br />

Sales, Evergreen/Broadleaf Container Manager<br />

� Ron Brown - Started in 1978.<br />

Head Mechanic, Perennial Manager<br />

� Dave Hall - Started in 1982.<br />

Yard Sales Manager, B & B Field Manager<br />

� Scott Brown - Started in 1990. Inventory Manager<br />

� Steve Brown -Started in 1995. Delivered Sales<br />

In 2003 Arnold sold his shares back to the company. In 2004<br />

Alan, Ron, Steve, Scott and Dave came on the Board of Directors<br />

and became partners with Stan.<br />

In more than 65 years of quality business and service <strong>Alameda</strong><br />

<strong>Wholesale</strong> <strong>Nursery</strong> has evolved from a small “growing nursery”<br />

to one of the oldest and largest wholesale nurseries in Colorado.<br />
