MINNESOTA, HORTICULTURAL STATUS OF. Fi -. 



1405. Minnesota has an area of 84,287 square miles. 

 The surface is gently undulating, except in the extreme 

 northwestern portion, where, in the Red River valley, 

 are large, fertile, level prairies. Its roughest agricul-

The soil is generally rich and well adapted to a variety 

 of crops, but it is very variable, and there are some very 

 extended areas in the northern part where there is 

 much sandy laud that should never be used for agricul- 

 ture. The undulating surface, variety of good soil ami 

 vegetation, and abundance of lakes, afford many very 

 picturesque and beautiful locations for successful horti-
