THE OLD SIGN PHILOSOPHER, THOUGHT OF THE DAY!
"Common sense is not so common."

100 YEARS AGO
"There was only 8,000 cars in the U.S.A., and only 144 miles of paved roads."
"The maximum speed limit in most cities and towns was a whooping 10 m.p.h."
"The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower."

West County will soon have a new landmark:
THE GREENSCAPE SEASONAL TREE

"Amish Buggy to Zelcova, We have it all"

100 YEARS AGO.
"The averge life expectancy in the United States was only 47."
"Only 14% of the homes had a bathtub."

OLD SIGN PHILOSOPHER, THOUGHT OF THE DAY!
A WEED IS SIMPLY AN UNWANTED FLOWER.
GARDENING IS CONTAGIOUS
The mum crop is looking great. Come in now for the best selection. Remember: Mums planted in late August and September have a better chance at coming back next year. The old saying "The early bird gets the worm," has alot of credence in mum planting!
