The rapid and substantial growth of our businoss wp atlribiilo to our honest and painstakinB efforts to satis- 
factorily please our customers, and also to the loyal support and palrona^'i> of those customers throughout the great 
Northwest. Our years of experience with the soil and climatic conditions of Montana enables us to advise new settlers 
in the State as to "the seeds, plants or trees suitable for the climate. . -„ , 
The operation of our extensive business requires careful atlenlion. The whole organization is carefully planned 
and each di'partment, with a competent head to guide it, works in perfect harmony with the ot,hers. The establishment 
today is divided into the following distinct departments: Seeds, Plants and Trees, which are again sub-divided. The 
Seeds into Flower, Vegetable and Farm Seeds; the latter alone occupying a large warehouse. The Plant department 
is divided into plants grown for Gut Flowers only, including Roses, Carnations, Violets, Lilies, etc., which occupy 30 
houses; and the blooming Decorative and Redding Plants, grown in pots to supply our extensive catalogue trade. The 
Tree Department is also divided into Shade and Ornamental Trees, Fruit Trees and Hardy Shrubs and Vines. Each 
of these sub-divisions is in charge of a competent and experienced man, who thoroughly understands his business. 
Some idea of the size of our Greenhouse Plant may be realized from the fact that if they were placed end to 
end, they would reach nearly two miles, containing four miles of walks and requiring 10 miles of heating pipes.
