Memories
Albert, Irving, and David assisted with the family nursery,
one of their specialties being the propogation of apple
trees. They shipped then, bare-rooted, in spagnum moss
to most of the states.
There was a large barn at the nursery on the side of a hill,
with a lower and upper entrance. The cows and horses
had easy access into the barn via the lower door. The hay
loft could be reached easily through the upper door. The
men could roll the wagons right up to the upper door
and unload the hay.
