the forniatiou of a stock com|iaiiy. Kiudi 

 yeiir more land was bought ami more 

 acres of trees i)lanted in order to 'supply 

 the increasing demand, until in 1907 the 

 company controlled GOO acres of land and 

 had over HOO acres of this land covered 

 with growing nursery stock. 



About eight acres of the ground are 

 covet;ed ■with arbors for the f)roper care 

 of young evergreens, which arc here 

 grown in large quantities from the seeit 

 and must be partly protected from the 

 fierce summer heat of the sun, wdiich 

 otherwise would kill the seedlings. The 

 packing house, built ;it the edge of a 

 small hill, is so arranged th.at it is nearly 

 surrounded bv banks of earth. It is 

 150X.S00 feet,\vith 16-foot walls. There 

 is also a range of glass for the growing 

 of roses, which are shipped principally 

 to St. Paul and ^linneapolis. A large, 

 hamlsome, stone ollicc buihling stands at 

 the entrance of the grounds and is con- 

 nected by telephone with v;irious ]iarts 

 of the nurser}'. Most of the land has a 

 high altitude witli a general northwest 

 exposure, wliich is said to be ide.al for 

 the jirodiiction of hardy stock.
