new plant at Wolre nursery on the

according to ■ officials of the

Sunday afternoon. r

door of the “House that time built,”
which was completed in 1929, by

nursery and the other part of the
plant which has recently been com-
pleted has been built onto this
building.
Visitors were directed to the
new office building, where they
were entertained by Jim Boyd's
hillbilly band. A complete tour of
the plant was conducted by Hie
employees of the nursery. The
parts of the plant shown the pub-
lic were the sales display room,
the packing department, storage
room, greenhouse, lath houae, heel-
ing yards, propagating house,
processing room, peach seed grad-
ing department, farm maintenance
department, post office, and the
coffee shop.
Coffee and doughnuts were serv-
ed to the visitors at the coffee
shop and them they were enter-
tained by Bob Reynolds and sev-
eral entertainers, from radio sta-
tion WBAP.
