In an article done on iBerkshires.com back in August 3, 2015, Gave some of the history of Flower and gifts store that started as a Greenhouse

The business was established as Quadland's Greenhouses in 1904 by Warren Quadland. After graduating from Drury High School, Quadland apprenticed at a Philadelphia nursery for three years before returning to buy the greenhouses on Houghton Street next to where he'd grown up.

Quadland opened the floral shop on Main Street in 1921, and later one of his sons joined the business for a while before branching out into hotels and gift shops. In 1955, the Quadlands retired and sold the flower shop to his niece, Peggy Quadland Pettibone, and her husband.

The Martins bought the business in 1962 and moved in 1966 to what was then the Artery Arcade when the space it occupied on the west end of Main Street was consigned to the wrecking ball during urban renewal.
