In order to serve a rapidly increasing clientele it became necessary to 
build, in 1935, the spacious Packing Shed shown above. It was designed 
by Mr. Clark Merrick, architect, and is of steel frame construction. The 
weather vane is of special interest as a replica of the famous horse, 
Smuggler — who in 1876 was known as “the King of the trotting turf.” 
This brown or very dark bay stallion, bred in Columbus, Ohio, was later 
bought by Col. H. S. Russell of Milton, Massachusetts, for $40,000. He 
was the fastest pacer of his day. 
The Packing Shed is located on the South side of the Sales Yard where 
it marks our five-acre Perennial Nursery. Here you will find one of the 
largest collections of hardy Perennials in New England.
