MINNEAPOLIS. 



Among the Growers, 



Proinineut aiiioug the big places of the 

 Northwest, the establishment of the Min- 

 neapolis Floral Co., at Thirty-sixth 

 street and Calhoun boulevard, Minneap- 

 olis, easily ranks first. It is. of course, 

 but a mere pigmy compaied with some of 

 the giants around Chicago and farther 

 East, but here in the Xorth Star state 

 we consider it large. While one of the 

 largest places it is also one of the 

 youngest and is a living example of 

 what push and capital combined can ac- 

 complish. 



The houses are 155 feet in length. 

 running east and west, and are built 

 on a side hill facing the south, an 

 ideal location for a greenhouse. The 

 Garland gutters used here are 7 feet 6 

 inches from the ground, the houses of 

 an average width of 1(1 feet. The pitch 

 of the roof is very steep and the peak 

 of the largest house 25 feet high. Butted 

 glass was used in the construction, but 

 Mr. Monson, the proprietor, tells me it 

 is the last time he will use butted glass. 

 As rapidly as possible the glass will be 

 relaid and lapped. So much for the 

 houses containing 90,000 square feet of 

 glass. 



As for the stock grown in them, as 

 the reader may have sunuiscd. it is 

 fine, first-class and choice. In roses 

 one is almost lost in the forest of growth 

 comprising all of the best varieties and 

 many others which seem to thrive well 

 here. 



Brides and Bridesmaids revel in their 



environment, and at the time of my 

 visit were in fine crop. Beauties and 

 Queen of Edgely are also grown here in 

 large numbers and fine quality. Liberty 

 also thrives here, though it has never 

 fulfilled expectations. Meteor produces 

 abundantly until the "dark December 

 days." Helen Gould was looking fine, 

 being in full crop, but is a very capri- 

 cious variety, and requires constant 

 watching and continuous coddling to 

 produce perfect blossoms. When its 

 nature is better understood I predict a 

 great popularity for this new beauty. 

 Sunset, which is well known, -and Sun- 

 rise, which is cornparatively new, are 

 both thriving side by side in separate 

 benches. President Carnot. Kaiserin 

 and Testout are also grown. A few 

 French seedlings are being tried in the 

 hope of securing some new desirable va- 

 riety. 



Mums are also grown in quantity, as 

 is evidenced by the long list of desir- 

 able varieties in bloom at the time of 

 my visit. I will name a few of them, 

 though I am sure there are just as 

 many more desirable varieties that are 

 not named here. Golden Beauty, a large 

 late yellow; Timothy Eaton, with 

 blooms fully 12 to 15 inches in diame- 

 ter; Elmer Smith, a deep orange; Kate 

 Brown, bronzy yellow; Flora Hill, 

 creamy white; Adele, a most beautiful 

 pink; Nesota, a daisy-like flat yellow 

 of good form and substance; W. H. 

 Chadwick, Wliite Bonnaffon, W. H. Eie- 

 man. Major Bonnaffon, Autumn Glory, 

 IWutual Friend, as large as ever; Mme. 

 Faure, a new white; Col. Appleton, and 

 many more. 



Carnations, though planted late, were 

 looking fine. Mr. Monson was the first 

 to appreciate the value of Prosperity 

 and has planted it quite heavily. Sam- 

 ple blooms 3| inches in diameter were 

 noted. All the leading varieties are 

 grown, though Lawsou and Prosperity 

 are the leaders. A new fancy variety, 

 a cream overlaid, flushed and striped 

 with scarlet, is strikingly beautiful. 



The violets here are the finest I have 

 ever seen. The plants were benched in 

 July, and from one bench of 1.500 plants 

 25,000 blooms had been picked up to 

 Nov. 1. Mr. Monson estimates the 

 returns from this house of 3,000 plants 

 at $1 per plant for the season, a very 

 encouraging outlook. The varieties 

 grown are Marie Louise, Lady Campbell, 

 Swanley White; California, and Prin- 

 cess of Wales, single. 



It is not alone in cut flowers that 

 !Mr. Monson's success ha.s been achieved. 

 In the plant and bulb line he has al- 

 ways dealt heavilj'. For next spring he 

 has 10,000 lilies, 1,000 azaleas, besides 

 rhododendrons, camellias, lilacs, etc., in 

 large quantities. For Christmas a fine 

 supply of well grown peppers were much 

 in evidence, the bright, showy fruit con- 

 trasting nicely with the green stems 

 and foliage. A large number of oranges 

 in fruit were also noted, as well as 

 palms, ferns, araucarias and a general 

 line of decorative stock. 



Grading is being done now for another 

 block of houses, to be erected this win- 

 ter. X. Y. Z.

 Review. Its pages are pretty well
