TWIN FALLS, IDAHO. 



Two young men leaving Worcester, 

 Mass., less than a year ago to seek for- 

 tunes in the far west, have established 

 a greenhouse business here, a pioneer in- 

 stitution of that kind in this section of 

 the country. The men are E. E. Peter- 

 son, who was formerly with H. F. A. 

 Lange, of Worcester, and J. A. Lundahl. 



Ten acres, one and one-quarter miles 

 from the center of Twin Falls, a short 

 distance off Blue Lakes boulevard, has 

 been obtained for greenhouse purposes 

 by these young men, who recently organ- 

 ized as the Twin Falls Floral Co. Both 

 believe that they have found the one 

 great opportunity for which they came 

 west, and since they started the estab- 

 lishment six months ago they have devel- 

 oped it until there is none more compre- 

 hensive in scope in Twin Falls county. 



In the beginning a small part of an 

 alfalfa field was plowed and set to va- 

 rious kinds of flowers. No enrichment of 

 the soil was attempted, the plants were 

 just planted, given water as they ap- 

 peared to require irrigation, and thrived 

 remarkably well. Having thus proven 

 that the soil was well adapted to the cul- 

 ture of flowers, such as asters, gladioli, 

 cosmos, cannas, carnations and kindred 

 species, Messrs. Peterson and Lundahl 

 proceeded to further laying the founda- 

 tions for what they are confident will be 

 a splendid business as the community 

 grows. 



A store has been hired in the First Na- 

 tional Bank building. At the gardens, 

 there has been erected a greenhouse, 

 25x125. It will be heated with hot water 

 in the winter, provisions for which have 

 been made, including the digging of a 

 cistern, into which the ditch water is fil- 

 tered before going through the pipes un- 

 der pump pressure. 



Fifty tons of coal were hauled out a 

 week ago, for use in this work, the in- 

 tention being to have an entire winter 

 supply delivered before bad roads could 

 handicap this work. In the glass house 

 there are already many beds of flower 

 plants, which will do service throughout 

 the winter, and contain a large supply 

 of bedding plants for the spring delivery. 



It is also the intention of the pro- 

 moters of this enterprise to divert a con- 

 siderable part of their greenhouse to rais- 

 ing lettuce, radishes, rhubarb and other 

 table delicacies of this class. 



Muskogee, Okla. — C. E. Taube, pro- 

 prietor and manager of the Muskogee 

 Carnation Co., opened an uptown store 

 at 230 West Broadway October 1.
