{EBT LEA, MINN. . 



The Lake Shore Greenhouses, on the 

 north shore of Fountain lake, constitute 

 one of the largest establishments of the 

 kind in the state of Minnesota, known 

 to the trade in aU parts of the west and 

 northwest and bearing a high reputation 

 for the general excellence of the stock 

 produced. 



The business has grown from a small 

 beginning in 1885, when P. Clausen re- 

 tired from the furniture business and 

 as a lover of flowers and for his per- 

 sonal pleasure erected a greenhouse 

 With no idea of growing flowers for 

 profit. A considerable local demand 

 came for flowers, however, and he grad- 

 ually worked into the line and to build- 

 ing, with his son, the present extensive 

 business. In 1897, G. A. Clausen, who 

 had had charge of the business during 

 the absence of P. Clausen on a trip to 

 the old home in Denmark, became asso- 

 ciated in the business as a partner, and 

 as the partnership of P. Clausen & Son 

 it has been developed to its present size, 

 50,000 square feet of glass. The larger 

 part of the glass is devoted to growing 

 cut flowers. 



While Albert Lea furnishes a good 

 market and large quantities of stock are 

 shipped to points in Freeborn county 

 and surrounding territory, the large 

 part of the stock is sold at wholesale 

 in the large northwestern cities, St. 

 Paul receiving the major part of the 

 wholesale shipments. 



The plant is heated by steam, two 

 boilers being used, one sixty horse- 

 power and one 100 horse-power, annu- 

 ally consuming about 600 tons of coal, 

 heat being necessary about eight months 

 of the year. The firm also has its own 

 waterworks system, supplying water 

 for the dwelling houses adjoining as 

 well as for the plant. 



Besides the greenhouses, there are 

 several acres of land, used in the cult- 

 ure of flowers. Of the greenhouses, one 

 is used exclusively for violets, four for 

 roses, three for carnations, one for 

 chrysanthemums and one for miscella- 

 neous stock. An average of ten people 

 are employed throughout the season.

Chas. Foltete, Grower of Fine Herbs at Hillsdale, N. J., says:- 



>'>■■■ 



"You have made good in every 

 one of your claims/' 



"Three years ago I 

 bought one of your 

 Iron Frame houses 100 

 x25 feet, which you 

 erected for me at Ruth- 

 erford, N.J. This year 

 you moved the house 

 to my new farm and 

 built two new ones, 

 each 100 X 25 feet. 



"The one originally at 

 looks like new, although 

 three years in marshy 

 completed your work on 



first, and this very 

 day, October thirtieth, 

 I seatj»- market the 

 first cutting of herbs 

 from the new plant. 



"You have made 

 good in every one of 

 your claims: Dura- 

 bility of construction, 

 light, ease of ventila- 

 tion, and heat. Expect to call on 

 you for two more houses by next sea- 

 son, and in their building you shall 

 have 'carte blanche' as heretofore. 

 Yours sincerely, 



[Signed] CHAS. FGLTETE."
