At Orchidhaven, the work of growing orchids is shared by Mrs. Henrietta Patterson 
and her three sons, representing an absorbing interest which completely dominates 
the family and accounts in large part for the success of the company. Edwin is in 
charge of general operations, the growing of the plants and their care; George 
assumes responsibility for the details of business administration; while Harold J. 
carries on the hybridizing and plant selling. Mrs. Patterson has the important job 
of seeing that these beautiful plants and flowers reach all parts of the world in the 
same state of perfection as when leaving Orchidhaven.
