Purtell-Burke Nurseries, a historic plant nursery that was located at 42 East Avenue in Rochester, New York. Active in the early 20th century (roughly the 1900s through the 1930s), Purtell-Burke was one of many companies that made Rochester famous as "The Flower City" due to its booming seed and nursery industry. They used unique promotional items, including custom children's plates and these highly collectible thermometers, to market their landscaping and plant-selling services. Founded in Rochester in 1851, the Taylor Instrument Companies became a powerhouse in weather gauges and temperature technology. The thermometer features "Permacolor," a trademarked, non-mercury red liquid fill developed by Taylor to magnify the column and offer an incredibly vivid, easy-to-read display that wouldn't fade over time.
