Scope and content
A long-time Tacoma institution, Poole's Seed & Nursery had relocated from their original Pacific Avenue address to a new location at Sixth and Union in the city's North End by the late 1940's. They carried a full line of garden supplies, garden tools, nursery stock, seeds and fertilizers. Employees apparently wore jackets with their names embroidered over the front pocket; here, "Jim" assists a customer in the selection of a Garden Magic rose, which came ready to plant. Boxes of Jackson & Perkins Co. roses and other Garden Magic varieties are stacked nearby. Rows of hoes, rakes and shears are hung neatly on the wall.
