This flower shop was established in the late 1940’s and was owned and ran by Mrs. Carrie Spence Jones in her home on College Street and later on, in her home on Pear Street and then moved the shop again to Market Street next to the hospital. In 1958, the business was purchased by Mrs. Olga Salmon and Mrs. Lela Smith. Ouita Jean Elliot Spence purchased the flower shop in 1968 and opened her flower business at her home on Cotton Street. She was in business until 1978 when Nelda Owens Johnson bought the shop and expanded the business to include gifts and changed the name to Grapeland Flower & Gift Shop. The business is presently located on West Chestnut in the old post office building.
