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.
Breyer horses are model horses, normally made out of a combination of plastic and resin. Because of the material used to make them, they are extremely fragile. Breyer has beâ¦en producing model horses since 1950, so 60 years! Each model is hand carved and hand painted (although there are some rumors that they are switching to machine painted).
