Full title:The Mount Eden Nursery and Greenhouses, owned and operated by the Shibatas of Tule Lake. The family originally
relocated to Chicago, Illinois, and returned to their home at Mt. Eden soon after revocation of the Army Exclusion Order.
Jinjiro Shibata, the Issei father, his son, Yoshimi, manager of the enterprise, and a daughter Ailene are now at the nursery.
Three other sons, Yoshito, Yoshikumi and Yoshiye, are in the army and the fourth, Yoshimi is up for induction within the next
few days. The nursery is a complete unit consisting of 34 greenhouses, living quarters, boiler house, packing house and other
necessary buildings. Roses exclusively are raised for the wholesale market. There has been no difficulty in marketing. The
Shibatas employ ten to twelve persons of Japanese ancestry and a number of Caucasians. The evacuees employed are from five
different centers. In this group, busy planting roses in one of the many greenhouses are, left to right, Jinjiro Shibata (father),
Yoshima Shibata (son and manager), Joe Kodama who arrived in June from Minidoka, and Seiji Sato who came from Heart Mountain
and joined the Shibatas in April.<lb/> Photographer: Mace, Charles E.<lb/> Mt. Eden, California.
