  Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Applewood 
Seed Company on their 60th year in business in Colorado.
  Since their founding by Gene and Dee Milstein in 1965, the Applewood 
Seed Company has served countless local and international customers 
including professional growers, landscapers, retailers, and more. Over 
the past 60 years, Applewood Seed has emerged as a top flower seed 
supplier in the Nation, all while staying true to its roots as an 
employee-owned company.
  In addition, Applewood Seed has evolved into a company dedicated to 
innovation within its field with research and development gardens, an 
extensive network of seed growers, and a state-of-the-art seed testing 
laboratory. They use new methods and human ingenuity to continue to 
create custom seed blends that fit the needs of any customer. As we 
continue to build a thriving and sustainable future, we look forward to 
having businesses like Applewood Seed at the forefront of our state's 
economic success.
  On behalf of the people of Colorado's 7th Congressional District, it 
is my honor to congratulate the Applewood Seed Company on their 60th 
anniversary and for their hard work and lasting impact in our 
community.
