A RAPIDLY GROWING INDUSTRY. 

 There Is estimated to be ten mlUlor- 

 of dollars Invested in Rreenhouses, in 

 Chicago and vicinity, and each year 

 this enormous sum grows larger. Go- 

 ing east from this great central city, 

 flashes of light on ranges of glass, 

 more or less extensive catch tlie eye 

 at every little town and hamlet. \v;th 

 big broad expanses of glass In the 

 larger towns and cities, showing that 

 flowers are everywhere a part of com- 

 mercial life. But leaving Chicago over 

 any of the west bound lines, you note 

 a difference. You are soon beyond the 

 circle that feeds into the Chlcag.a mar- 

 ket, and hundreds of miles aro Irav- 

 ersed without catching sight of a 

 greenhouse. On into the great State 

 of Iowa, its fertile fields seemingly 

 never to end and its productiveness 

 the boast of the middle west, and you 

 will see neither a greenhouse nor a 

 nursery. Just as you have given up 

 looking for them you reach Amos and 

 the Agricultural College buildings 

 come into view, and there gleam In 

 the sunshine the beautiful houses ju^st 

 erected by the Foley Greenhouse Man- 

 ufacturing Co. The obliging traininei. 

 call your attention to this instituiion, 

 of which Iowa is justly proud and 

 here is being trained a class of men 

 who are to give the growing of flowers 

 and plants its place here in this big 

 state in a very few years. In the ex- 

 treme western part of this state, ia a 

 city named for the Sioux Indiaus, the 

 business has a foothold but nothing 

 compared to the size that is needed to 

 supply the surrounding country. Just 

 beyond this lies Nebraska. The ncrth- 

 western part is a beautiful rolling 

 country where plenty abounds and 

 nature is unstinting in its rewards to 

 industry. One of the State Normal 

 Schools is located here at Wayne, a
