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.
Among the best horses bred and owned by the couple are Argentum, a son of Aragon, who was trained by the late Jack Holt to win a pair of Group 3 contests, the 1989 Cornwallis Stakes and King George Stakes the following year.
