Oglesby is well known in the tropical
foliage industry as a leader in the development and marketing of
new plant varieties. We firmly believe that our industry needs a
constant infusion of new and superior plants to help maintain growers'
profit margins and to keep the buying public interested in our products.

To ensure the
continuous flow of new varieties, we have committed significant resources to our Research
and Development Department, both in the laboratory and the greenhouse, where we manage an
extensive breeding program. As this program is so unique to the foliage industry, Oglesby
cooperates with other breeders for their efforts in exchange for our formula of testing,
selection and trial work. This year and in coming years, we will be introducing exciting
new varieties that will gain extended marketing life due to superior qualities and
proprietary values.
