Scotts Miracle-Gro Co
A maker of lawn and garden products, Scotts Miracle-Gro sells fertilizers, grass seed, soils and pest controls under brands like Scotts Turf Builder, Miracle-Gro plant food and Ortho. The company traces back to 1868, when Civil War veteran O.M. Scott began selling weed-free grass seed from his Ohio hardware store, and to 1951, when nurseryman Otto Stern and adman Horace Hagedorn launched Miracle-Gro. The two merged in 1995, and the "Miracle-Gro" name was actually suggested by Hagedorn's first wife, Peggy.
