Princeton Nurseries Exhibit at Mary Jacobs Library in Rocky Hill

Princeton Nurseries history will be highlighted in an exhibit at the
Mary Jacobs Memorial Library, in Rocky Hill, NJ. A family-run business
for four generations, Princeton Nurseries was once one of the largest
wholesale tree nurseries in the United States, reaching more than 1,200
acres in the Kingston area at its peak. 
The exhibit will feature
historic and contemporary items from Princeton Nurseries, including
plant catalogues, images of nursery structures reproduced from the Rose
Photography Studio Collection of Glass Plate Negatives, a 1920s aerial
photograph, images of the Nurseries' fleet of vehicles, and photos of
members of the Flemer Family.  Books, maps and pamphlets from the
library of William Flemer III, who was held in international esteem by
the horticultural world, will also be shown, as will art inspired by the
Princeton Nurseries landscape.
The exhibit is sponsored by the Friends of Princeton Nursery Lands (www.fpnl.org) and is free and open to all.  It will be open throughout the month of March 2014.
