Image description

Warren W. Rawson began his Boston area seed business in 1884, when he bought out the existing firm of Everett & Gleason. By 1893, Rawson had a hundred and twenty thousand square feet and fifteen houses devoted to lettuce and cucumbers, and shipped over a hundred barrels of lettuce a week to New York. Over a decade later, the main Rawson establishment was destroyed by fire, but within eight days the lower floor opened for business again.
