This Christmas gift was given by the employees of Calla Greenhouses to M. B. Templin. The floral-themed, monogrammed shaving set befits Templin’s role as president of the successful nursery. M. B.’s father, Lewis Templin, founded the business in 1860 and his three sons took over upon Lewis’s death in 1899.
