Title:

Disbudding chrysanthemums, Mr. and Mrs. Torao Mori from Topaz. They returned to their chrysanthemum farm in Redwood City, February 12, 1945. Local growers, Caucasians, Filipinos and Chinese, as a gesture of friendship gave them chrysanthemum cuttings without cost for reestablishing their gardens. Two shippers have offered to buy their entire output. The Moris' children, Martha, age 14, and James, age 13, attended Sequoia Union School in Redwood City this past spring. James is going to summer school. Mrs. Mori states that there is no comparison with living in the center. Her children have adjusted very well in school. Tomi, age 10, and Takashi, age 9, also enjoy being back and were swimming with their friends at the time the picture was taken. -- Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru -- Redwood City, California. 7/19/45
