FOR H. W. Kropp, we built three Ridge & Furrow 

 houses 28x 190 feet and one 28x109 feet. 

 Mr. Kropp had some old time, narrow, wooden 

 houses, which in their day had been money makers 

 for his fathers. But they would not produce the kind 

 of stock demanded to-day. 



It was a case of build modem houses, or go out of 

 the business. Of course growers don't go out of 

 business. They keep getting into more and more 

 business. It's the way the growers have of growing. 



Hill and Dupre carry on their business under the 



name of the Indianola Floral Company. Their flower 



shop, in the heart of Columbus, is an attractive as it 



is prosperous looking. 



In their two houses 28x190 feet and 12x81 feet, they 



grow a lot of their potted stock; carnations and 



ferns. 



More and more, the shop owners are also owning 



their greenhouses. 



It means just that much more profit for the shop 



owners.
