The female cone (megastrobilus, seed cone, or ovulate cone) contains ovules which, when fertilized by pollen, become seeds. The female cone structure varies more markedly between the different conifer families, and is often crucial for the identification of many species of conifers.
The Early Years. Breyer Animal CreationsÂ® began as the Breyer Molding Company, a Chicago, Illinois-based plastics manufacturing company. Its first model horse, the # 57 Western Horse, made its appearance in 1950. It was a special order for the F.W. Woolworth Company, made to adorn a mantelpiece clock.
But for the past several years thereâs been only one such business â Sealth Horse Carriage â that is owned and operated by Steve Beckmann. Beckmann, who started the service in Seattle, has been a fixture here for more than 40 years. When he first started, the city was a very different place.
