Abstract / Summary: The Floriculture Oral History Project consists of sixteen interviews conducted with flower growers of the California Flower Market of Northern California and the Southern California Flower Growers, also know as the Japanese Market. These interviews examine the historical orgins of both markets and the significant role Japanese American growers played in shaping the flower industry. This collection covers a vast scope, from the modest begininings of the pioneering Issei generation to the administrative role of the Nisei generation of the 1950s. In addition, the interviews also examine the impact of World War II and evacuation on Japanese American growers as well as the current competition stemming from international growers.
