2 THE BLUEVILLE STORY Blueville Nursery was established in 1933 by Marlin and Gladys Scott on Blueline Road in Manhattan, Kansas. They operated it until 1962 when Darrell and Dorothy Westervelt purchased the nursery. Blueville Nursery moved to its current location in 1969 which was, at that time, their growing field established in A small Garden Store was then started opening in the spring of The nursery was incorporated in 1972 so that other employees could acquire part of the company s ownership. Blueville currently has 19 stockholders including Keith Westervelt. Keith was elected President and CEO in December 1998 and has retained a little over 50% ownership of the corporation. The Nursery contains about 45 acres of which about 20 are devoted to growing trees, evergreens and shrubs. Growing is done primarily for our landscaping and retail sales with surplus plants being marketed wholesale. The nursery also buys plants to re-wholesale to other nurseries and landscapers. The Blueville staff consists of long-time, year-round staff and many part-time and temporary employees. Blueville promotes a family-like atmosphere creating many long-standing employees. During the busy spring and fall seasons there are over 120 employees on payroll. Younger employees are constantly being recruited to maintain vigor and add new ideas. Blueville considers its retail trade territory to be about a 100-mile radius from Manhattan with most landscape work done in Manhattan, Junction City, Clay Center, and Wamego. For management and record keeping the business is divided into 7 areas: Garden Store, Irrigation, Landscape, Maintenance, Nursery (growing), Ft. Riley, and Administration. Since purchasing the nursery in 1962 Blueville Nursery has never had an unprofitable year. Blueville Nursery is the largest nursery in Kansas outside of the large metro areas (Wichita and Kansas City). Our company continues to improve our facilities and equipment and add new services and merchandise. With 54 plus years of experience, Blueville prides itself on our trained professionals, progressive knowledge, quality of work, and our deep roots in the Manhattan and surrounding areas.

30 VINES CLEMATIS 1 Gallon...$17 2 Gallon...$37 GROUP 1: NO PRUNING Produces flowers on previous season s growth. Pruning for this group consists of removing all dead and weak stems after flowering. Tie all stems into position immediately after pruning for strength. A well-established plant shoud not require any pruning. The group consists of the evergreen species alpina, macropetala and montana. GROUP 2: MODERATE PRUNING This includes the early large flowering varieties such as the double, semi-double and mid-season clematis. They produce flowers on old or previous season s stems. Pruning this group should be done in April or early May. Remove all dead and weak stems, then simply trim the remaining stems enough to keep it under control. All remaining stems need to be tied to give space for new growth. GROUP 3: HARD PRUNING This group bears their flowers on new growth each year, and, in most cases, each stem produces several flowers. The old or previous season s growth dies back naturally each winter. Therefore, all old growth must be removed to allow for new growth. Prune this group in late April or early May depending on weather. Pruning consists of removing all old top growth down to about above ground level. NEWLY PLANTED CLEMATIS Regardless of flowering habits, all clematis should be pruned hard, to from the ground the first spring after planting. This helps encourage a sturdier, more heavily branched base, making the vine more durable.
