History - Albert Glover Sr., son of James Glover, filled a mission to England in 1898-1900. While there, he often visited Hyde Park in London, because he was so interested in learning the names of the lovely trees and scrubs that grew there. Upon his return home, he decided to go into the nursery business. Albert Glover established the first nursery south of Salt Lake County.

Not long after their father's death in 1925, his three sons, who had worked with their father, carried on in separate businesses. Albert Jr. retained the Jordan Nursery, James calling his business the Midvale Nursery, and Parley R. using the name of Glover Nursery and Floral. All three of these businesses were located a short distance of each other. The Glover Nursery and Floral was on the east side of State Street at 7185 South, and the other two were a little farther north on the west side of State Street. - Melissa B. Glover
