CALL NURSERIES. Mrs. E. M. Call, owner, Post Office Address, Perry, Ohio. These 
nurseries embrace 200 acres, much of the realty being located in the village of 
Perry, the residence situated one mile from the village on Call Road. Nursery 
stock is shipped by the Call Nurseries to the territory bounded by Maine and 
California, and its stock consists of mostly ornamental, shade and fruit trees 
of all kinds including berries and also shrubs. Outside of the nursery industry,
soil products are general, being grown principally for home use. Creeks and 
wells furnish running water to all buildings forced by gasoline engine. There 
is also a fine spring on the place which supplies water for stock. Building 
improvements are entirely up-to-date, modern and sanitary. The barns are 
supplied with cement floors. Aside from modern residence, there are two fine 
tenant houses on Home Farm, also in good condition, the lighting of buildings 
being supplied by a natural gas well. The surface of the farm is level, its 
soil a gravely loam, and most productive. Solon W. Call, who was responsible 
for the building improvements and high standing of the nurseries was born on 
the Home place November 13, 1845. He was married June 30, 1869, to Miss Eunice 
Olds, of Madison, Ohio. Mr. Call was killed by an automobile accident February. 
22, 1915, the automobile being struck by a train on the west crossing of the 
railroad in Perry.
