The Rogers Canning Company, founded in 1935 by brothers-in-law Lowell Rogers and Harold Bennett, operated in the Walla Walla, Washington area for many years, processing peas, corn, asparagus, and other local crops. In 1967, the Rogers Canning Company merged with the Walla Walla Canning Company. The operation was closed and demolished in the 1990s. Aaron and Samaria Miller with their two children, Louisa and Samuel left California with the William Nichols family who resided in the same vicinity and emigrated to the Walla Walla Valley located at Milton, in 1871. In 1872, Aaron Miller filed on a homestead of 160 acres near the town of Milton on the Walla Walla River and where the Milton Nursery Company is now located. Miller desired to plant a family orchard. There was no nursery nearby where fruit trees were available for immediate planting, therefore, his father, having some knowledge of fruit tree propagation, suggested growing their own trees. The first year that they had trees ready for an orchard planting they also had a surplus. There was a ready sale to their neighbors. Soon they realized they were in the nursery business. The business was called the Aaron Miller Nursery. About the year 1888, one son, Samuel, joined his father in the business and it was called Aaron Miller and Son. In 1902, a second son, George W., also became a partner of the firm. The Milton Nursery Company has the distinction of being the oldest nursery in the Pacific Northwest, and the oldest firm in the vicinity of Milton-Freewater. Since its establishment in 1878, it has been a constant and growing support to the economy of the community. It is an outstanding example of family cooperation and good management.
