Exploiting New Lawn & Garden Opportunities
 
We believe that the power of our brands provides us with significant opportunities to expand our business into adjacent lawn and garden categories. In October 2004, we acquired Smith & Hawken®, a leading brand in the fast growing outdoor living and gardening lifestyle category. The addition of the Smith & Hawken® brand and its network of retail stores, catalog and Internet sales will be the foundation for our future expansion into “outdoor living” categories. In November 2005, we acquired Gutwein whose Morning Song® brand is a leader in the North America wild bird food category. This is the Company’s first entrance into this attractive and growing category.
