Title
Florists - Walter B. Claggett
Description
Nowadays florists order their stock from a distributor, who ships it (usually frozen) to the store. Back when Everett had plenty of space, florists could grow their own in greenhouses. Walter Claggett had several greenhouses on the corner of Shute St. and Broadway. He ran the business until his death in 1936, when his widow Ethel took over until her death in 1958.
