This excerpt taken from the SMG 10-K filed Dec 14, 2006. 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 Companys first entrance into this attractive
and growing category.
