before the 10th of the following month. A service charge of

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.
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.

Professional landscape fabric is better than black plastic for
separating mulch from the ground because it discourages weed
growth, yet allows the soil to breathe and accept moisture.

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

This shrub is just like good old purple smoke tree but is
bright gold instead. You know how some plants that are
yellow look chlorotic even though they’re not? This one

colorful rainbow of coral, orange and red. The plumes are a
smokey pink from late spring to early summer.

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.

MAPLE, RED POINTE®
Acer rubrum ‘Frank Jr.’
Stan believes they have finally cooked up a better tree than
Red Sunset Maple. This is a cross between Acer freemanii
and Acer rubrum but this recipe adds a little more Red
Maple blood giving it a higher alkaline tolerance than
Autumn Blaze and just enough freemanii blood to give it a
more vigorous growth rate and hardier than Red Sunset. It
has a very dominant central straight leader and stronger
branch angles with a pleasing pyramidal mature shape.
Outstanding brilliant red fall color.

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
S
The history of
ALAMEDA WHOLESALE
tanley 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 containergrown 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.
