We are announcing today that we are bringing the
Milestone and Ever Green brands even closer together.
Effective as of December 5, 2005, our official name
will be:
GREEN MILES WEST

The substitution of "West" in our name-replacing
"California"- is the result of an agreement we reached
with California Gardening Association, following a
protest over the original use of "California" in our
name. We hope this does not create any confusion
among our loyal consumers. While this represents a
change from our initial name introduction, it does not
change the quality of products we offer to our
consumers.
