Scope and content
Customers are pictured wandering about, casually inspecting the contents of the new Eric Hayes Nursery in Purdy, on May 8, 1958. Plants, trees and shrubs were displayed in circles, rectangular boxes, and triangular designs. Customers could easily walk between the various outdoor displays. The Eric Hayes Nursery appears to have been situated on a narrow strip of six acres between two one-lane roads. Located seven minutes from the Narrows Bridge, the nursery had 30,000 plants suitable for Northwest gardens. Architect Marshall Perrow designed both the covered outdoor sales building and also designed the display of trees and shrubs. Photograph ordered by Eric Hayes Nursery. (TNT 3-21-58, A-9)
