Luther Gage was an early settler and horticulturist who settled in the area in the early 1920’s and brought ranunculus seeds with him. Not long after, he began growing them in his fields next to Frank Frazee’s small vegetable farm in South Oceanside. In 1933, Frank Frazee also started growing ranunculus and introduced his son Edwin to the practice of seeding, cultivating and irrigating the flower. At the tender age of 16, Edwin Frazee quit high school to work full time on his father’s flower operation, which was quickly expanding in popularity. Now, 85 years later, the Fields are a direct result of the hard work and dedication of Luther Gage and the Frazee family. The Frazee fields are the epitome of perseverance and dedication, showcasing the impact that Luther Gage and the Frazee family have had on the floral world. Through their hard work and commitment, they have created a legacy that will live on for generations to come.
