Five Floral Businesses Mark 100 Years Of Success

But to sustain that for 100 years or more is truly an impressive feat." The 2015 Century Award honorees are: Allan's Flowers in Prescott, Arizona Brown Floral in Salt Lake City, Utah Evans Flowers and Greenhouses in Peabody, Massachusetts Furst Florist & Greenhouses in Dayton, Ohio Ye Olde Yardley Florist in Yardley, Pennsylvania About Allan's Flowers Founded in 1914 by George Allan Sr., Allan's Flowers is an award-winning, full-service retail florist in Prescott Valley, Arizona.
