NEW TICKER SYMBOL FOR BLUEGREEN CORPORATION BECOMES EFFECTIVE MARCH 25, 1996

Boca Raton, Florida, March 19, 1996 - Bluegreen Corporation, currently
trading under "PAT" on the New York Stock Exchange, will begin trading under    
the symbol "BXG" effective Monday, March 25, 1996.  The new ticker follows an   
announcement of a change in the Company's name from Patten Corporation to       
Bluegreen Corporation.  The name change became effective on March 8, 1996 when  
the Company amended its charter with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.         

The new name reflects a change in the Company's strategic direction.  
Known as a leading recreational land development and sales company in America   
for nearly 30 years, the Company expanded its business lines to include         
vacation ownership (timesharing) in 1994.  The Company currently operates two   
timesharing resorts in the Smoky Mountains of eastern Tennessee and has begun   
development on a third in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  Commenting on the name 
change, George F. Donovan, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "our   
business is about lifestyles and the choices people make concerning where they  
reside, where they relax and where they vacation. Our objective is to see       
Bluegreen recognized by American households as the company that offers colorful 
places to live and play".  The Company is headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida  
and operates in twenty-one of the United States.
