Ferry-Morse Seed Company
The Ferry-Morse Seed Company is a supplier of seeds, and was at one time the largest such company in the world. It is currently part of Jiffy International.
==D.M. Ferry & Co.==
In 1856, Milo T. Gardner, Dexter M. Ferry, and Eber F. Church〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Ferry Morse Seed Company )〕 organized a seed-growing company, M.T. Gardner & Company (also known as Gardner, Ferry, and Church) in Detroit, Michigan. The first year, the company did $6000 in business〔 and it continued to be stable, but unremarkable, until 1865, when Ferry bought out Gardner's share and took over the company. Ferry changed the company name to Ferry, Church & Co, and two years later, when Church retired,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Ferry Morse Seed Company )〕 changed the name again, this time to D.M. Ferry & Co.〔
The business grew steadily, and in 1879 was incorporated under the name D.M. Ferry & Co with $750,000 in capital, with Ferry as president,〔 James McMillan as vice-president, H. Kirke White as secretary, and Charles C. Bowen as treasurer. A. E. F. White, John Stoughton Newberry, and W. K. Anderson were also officers.〔 At the same time, the Detroit Seed Company was absorbed into the new corporation. Business of the company continually increased for some time, until January 1, 1886, when a disastrous fire demolished the company's warehouse with the loss of near $1,000,000.〔 However, Ferry quickly organized the company, bought seeds from outside sources and absorbed two smaller seed companies, and the company managed to fill orders for its customers.〔
