Full title:Ryohitsu Shibuya, widely known Mountain View florist and King of the Chrysanthemum growers, and his son, Maremaro, on the grounds of the Shibuya Company, Grant Road, Mountain View. Mr. Shibuya returned to his beautiful home from Denver several months ago. He is from the Heart Mountain Center. Mr. Shibuya came to the United States when a young man, and after trying his hand at various jobs, found his way into floral culture near Palo Alto. After many years of painstaking labor, he developed the Shibuya strain of chrysanthemum from which he prospered and built one of the most beautiful homes in the Mountain View District. With him at the time the picture was taken were his charming daughter, Masago (M. A. Stanford), now employed at her Alma Mater, Maremaro, a son, until recently a high school student in Minneapolis, and T/S Yoshimaro, recent graduate from the University of Nebraska in Civil engineering--on leave from Camp Snelling, Minnesota. Another daughter, Madoka (M.A. Stanford in Chemistry), is now a student in Stanford Medical School in San Francisco. A third son, Takeshi, also a college graduate, has a responsible position in Minneapolis. Mrs. Shibuya passed away during evacuation. Before long Mr. Shibuya plans to be back in the production of the famous fall blooms that are a part of football to the coed.<lb/> Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru<lb/> Mountain View, California.
