Long gone, the area is now developed with townhomes (bottom of Avalon Drive and Constitution)

I helped my family move H Plath & Son’s nursery from Alameny Blvd. in San Francisco to the location in the photo of the nursery. That was in the very early 1960s (I was in high school but not driving yet, thus the date.) My father was the youngest of the “Sons”. H. Plath was Hans Plath, my Grandfather. It was sad to see the nursery go, particularly as the workers spoiled me rotten.
