| May 4, 1941 The Springfield Union |
In 1941 Mother's Day was celebrated on Sunday, May 11th! Longmeadow, MA residents did not need to go far to place that special order of flowers for their mothers for that special day. Meadowview Greenhouses was located at 734 Longmeadow Street, in Longmeadow, MA with the entrance off Ely Road. The advertisement above states the telephone number of this business and the fact that flowers could also be delivered. Not only were cut flowers and corsages available to purchase, but potted plants were also sold. Surely there were mothers in the Longmeadow area that would enjoy watching their "special" plant grow.

This business was owned by Mrs. Mary Ida Young Denault who had purchased and lived in the Wolcott Brewer mansion. For more information about Meadowview Greenhouses, click here. This beautiful mansion is now known as the Brewer Young Mansion and still sits on our Longmeadow Town Green.
