          FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                    New York, New York, May 10, 1995... Grow Group,
          Inc. ("Grow") (NYSE: GRO) announced today that its Board
          of Directors has authorized management of Grow and Grow's
          financial and legal advisors to engage in discussions and
          negotiations with The Sherwin-Williams Company in
          connection with Sherwin-Williams' unsolicited tender
          offer to acquire, subject to certain conditions, all
          outstanding shares of Grow Common Stock at a price of
          $19.50 per share.

                    On May 1, 1995, Grow announced that it entered
          into a definitive merger agreement with Imperial Chemical
          Industries, PLC, an English company ("ICI"), pursuant to
          which ICI has offered to purchase all outstanding shares
          of Grow Common Stock for $18.10 per share.  

                    In addition, Grow announced that it has
          extended the distribution date of its Stock Purchase
          Rights until May 31, 1995 or such later date as may be
          determined by Grow's Board of Directors.  Until such
          date, the Stock Purchase Rights will continue to trade
          together with the Company's Common Stock.

                    Grow also stated that it believes the lawsuits
          filed by Sherwin-Williams and by certain shareholders as
          purported class actions are without merit.  Russell
          Banks, President and Chief Executive Officer of Grow,
          said, "The Grow Board of Directors is acutely aware of
          its fiduciary responsibilities.  The Board has acted at
          all times in the interests of the Company and its
          shareholders and will continue to do so."
