ABOUT US

Working with the Associated Seed Growers, it was determined that the new strain's longer pods were genetically constant. Associated agreed to increase the seed and make the improved variety available for use by the public. Mr. Clifton supplied the foundation seed and named the new variety Taylors Horticultural, giving the Leon Taylor family of Duplin County recognition for their important role in making this improved variety a reality.

Today, the company remains a family business dedicated to maintaining the high standards of quality and service set in those early years.
