John Rock's nursery in the 1880's was near Wayne Station. This map overlay (onto Google Earth) shows where his property lies, outline in blue. His future partner R.D. Fox (& his wife) has two nursery properties, outlined in red.

An excellent lead is that Chilean wine palms are in these areas.

The roads, Rock Avenue, Fox Drive, and Fox Lane that have been named after these historical nurseries and lie within the property boundaries.

The furthest south property is part of the San Jose Municipal golf course. Have they taken care of their palms?
